- Subject: RE: Cygwin Xfree 4.1.0 or 4.2.0 with old clients
From Linux machine running XFree86 4.1.0 or 3.3.6 HPP boxes
work properly, I think that mounts are correct
as I don't have any problems reading SecurityPolicy file
or rgb.txt (though i had to change them by linux versions
without CR-LF)
Also the cygwin-Xfree86 (4.2.0) doesn't process the third mouse
button depending on which mouse driver you have on NT4
(emulate3buttons always works). The mouse is a 3 button Logitech
and the logitech drivers changes the behaviour even with windows
programs like Netscape 6.2.1, with the standard PS/2 the third
button is correct. The bad news is that this doesn't solve
the problem with HP boxes
