After reading the section more carefully I agree with your assessment. It was of course clear from the beginning that a mere substitution would not suffice, because the presence of a logical or (/etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/X11/XF86Config-4) that has been translated, and the translations may not work after a simple substitution. Unfortunately I don't have any expertise in gpm. Anders -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
