Protocol"mousesystems" Device "/dev/gpmdata" works too, but without mouse wheel. Trying any other repeater protocol did'nt work at all. XFree86 4: Protocol"mousesystems" Device "/dev/gpmdata" The only way I could make the mouse work. No working mouse wheel here too.

IIRC x86-64 has 8 additional registers, which helps *alot* given the very few registers ia32 has. Gerd -- Gerd Knorr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

For application that approach (use x86-64 if available, i386 otherwise) would likely work. But for library packages it must be possible to install 32bit and 64bit versions in parallel, so it must be possible to separate glibc 32bit + glibc 64bit somehow. Using different names for 32bit and 64bit shared library packages is IMHO not a bad idea to deal with the issue. Sure, you have to touch every f*cking library package to implement that, but you have to do that anyway to move the 64bit versions of the shared libraries to /lib64 (and this in turn is needed to be compatible with the rest of the world).
