[Alexandria-list] Website

[L.C. Karssen]

Hi all,

Good work on the website! It looks very refreshed and well structured. 

I noticed that the features page states that the CueCat is supported.
I've been waiting for that for a long time. If I remember correctly, the
CueCat was/is only supported in a 2.4 kernel by a long since
abandonwared driver (cf. e.g.
http://osdir.com/ml/gnome.apps.alexandria/2006-01/msg00038.html and
http://osdir.com/ml/gnome.apps.alexandria/2006-01/msg00002.html). Using
the CueCat with a 2.6 kernel without driver results in strange window
behaviour, apparently because it sends an Alt-F10 keycode
(http://www.mail-archive.com/devel@xfree86.org/msg07517.html, last
reply).
It might be that USB CueCats are supported, though. I only have the PS/2
version. 

So we might want to remove the CueCat statement from the web page until
the userland support is really there.
