Hi Linus, hi Gerard,

Compiling 2.1.8 with Drew's 53c7,8xx driver made
2.1.8 very stable. Trying to lower the features
with Gerard's driver didn't help (oops, crash & burn :)

2.1.9 with Gerard's driver seem to work flawlessly,
despite the fact that 1.14c ncrBsd was crashing
2.1.8.. Strange interaction, but it's OK now.
Gpm still doesn't work correctly with 2.1.9 and
my Logitech Mouseman.

Thanks, Philippe
