Darwin on x86

Hey,

I am a very loyal mac user and feel dirty using windows, so I want to use a mac server.  Problem is I do not have any money to spend, but do have a decent 850 AMD Duron box.  After doing some research I found GNU_Darwin which runs on alot of hardware. I got it installed fine, but I cannot get Xwindows working or any of the window managers.  I did what it said on GNU-Darwin but it didn't work.  I can do "startx" and Xwindows runs, but the mouse doesn't work.

I really want to get this working soon, so any instight, or places where i can get help with setting up a pure darwin server would be a great help.


thatks alot

Try typing "mouse" right before startx. It should let you configure your mouse settings. If this seems a little obvious, forgive me. I don't know how much you know about Unix.


Hey!!! Was that Pithy? Got a twenty?

Sorry, but "mouse" doesn't work.  Not a valid command...
