Hi,
     A quicky update. I just now installed XFree86-4.0 and it seems to
have solved my keyboard problem under X. I can now run X in one VC
and MOL in another and switch back and forth without losing my
keyboard. Yay!

     One note, the sample Pismo XF86Config file does not use the
IMPS/2 protocol for the mouse. Making only that change, all appears
to be well.

     I have run into a snag with the FireWire drive though. It doesn't
appear at this point that I can mount my FireWire drive. I haven't
dug too deep yet. Also, dismounting and ejecting CDs does not appear
to work. I can unmount the CD, but MacOS warns that I won't see it
again until I restart. Sure enough, the CD doesn't eject and doesn't
spin down. Is the fact that the CD is loaded (but not mounted on the
Linux side) when MOL starts up a factor?

        Cheers,
        Bruce.
