Mouse:  we plugged in a PS/2 mouse and if you touch it lightly the arrow 
scoots into the upper left corner and stays there.  When using the little 
eraser mouse, there is also briefly an arrow in screen center.

Steven, how would we modify your XF86Config to turn off mouse 
acceleration?

Opera:
I did some reading at the opera list about reasons for segfault and
someone said their opera worked if installed, but not if run from the 
binary directory (/opera-7.23....).

On our first computer neither 7.23 nor 8.51 would install - 'syntax 
error'.  Since Opera installed for other people on other computers I tried 
again here.  7.23 would not install.  8.51 would install and apart from 
complaining about no Motif and therefore no plugins, it runs.  Without a 
mouse.

On exit from X we get a message about the mouse:
Warning /dev/mouse unable to get status of mouse fd (not a typewriter).
I will read about this.

I was able to set the taskbar at icewm bottom to double height in 
preferences but you need a mouse to use it to enter things command line 
and it only works for starting X programs.  You don't need a mouse to 
start an rxvt to enter commands in it.  Once you have run one command 
there, if there is no rxvt on the screen, a tab brings you back to that 
taskbar line.
