[NTLUG:Discuss] Laptop OS

[S. Bradley Christian]

I've tried every mode listed. Either the right third of the screen is
covered in artifacts and mouse trails, or X won't start. Here's my
XF86Config:(oh, and I still haven't found how to get the Thinkpad
trackpoint to scroll, any ideas? Google has no answers)

# this input device can be used in AlwaysCore mode to let you
# also use USB mice at the same time.
