--the same applies here. Use SVGA server and set your Video RAM etc. take
a look at /etc/X11/XF86Config. Change the order of mode-lines in the
"Screen" section to your choice of default mode. If you have colormap
allocation problems, or other display problems, try using Option
"no_bitblt" and "no_accel".

--Configure it as a Microsoft Compatible mouse and emulate 3 buttons. IT
