X11R7 through ports?

[Jim Stapleton]

OK< so it's just taking a while to port. Guess I should be glad I
didn't try downloading and compiling it straight.

As for no functionality (mentioned a lot): evdev is functionality that
supports more than 7 mouse buttons, and that's functionality that I
would gain a lot benefit from.


Thanks, that link was useful.
