Fix: Moused will not load the /dev/ums0 driver - works fine with X however. An earlier moused will work, then there is a sysmouse, but sysmouse will not produce X-events from the Z-axis. If not fixed soon i'll hack one, but the developers allways write cleaner code than me. I'm not a programmer by profession. :) There is no way known to myself how to fix tiff drivers. Some 'improvement' has aparently blocked tiff. Overall the progress on the amd64 platform has been nothing short of spectacular over the few weeks i've owned the amd64. Gnome works as of last weekend's rebuild, the first real desktop on this computer. Many minor applications and ofcourse any Mozilla based browser doesn't work because NSPR is so screwed up. KDE doesn't work at all due to the very screwed up 'arts' which everything seems to depend on. Otherwise keep up the good work as i have i386s, athlons and an alpha. A Linux ABI on amd64 would be nice. (hint, hint) I have managed to create a complete Linux development environment on an athlon based on Gentoo. The original compile was in Linux and then integrated into FreeBSD. Almost any Linux application can be compiled. By making some sym-links in /dev, X can be started under Linux using ufs/ffs. As far as i'm concerened this beats the redhat compatibility libs available in ports. In addition the latest "Real 1" player works. I think it might be possible to port it to FreeBSD natively by 'wrapping' the approiate Windows DLLs. As a closing remark, IMO, amd64 is the future of the PC, Microsoft or not! Bill PS: My mail is not configured on the amd64, so there is probably no real problem with that. How-To-Repeat: moused simply doesn't work anymore with a USB mouse, TIFF images will not work with any application on this machine: Gimp, XV, Eye of Gnome and probably others.
