I got a small patch from Martin Costabel, which basically changed
&mem_map[MAP_NR(ptr)].flags
..into..
&virt_to_page(ptr)->flags
When applied, the module loads, and mol starts, and after a bit of
messing around, I got the keyboard to run, but I can't get the mouse
to respond in any way.
This is running on a Powerbook, model Lombard 333MHz, and I'm trying
to use X for viewing mol. X uses /dev/adbmouse as Busmouse, which
works fine, but mol using 'adb' and '/dev/adbmouse' gives me nothing
at all.
I also tried the vnc-method, with similar results.
Also, Dungeon Master II crashes with an error of type 2, whatever that is :)
