Since installing vlc.tcz, I've noticed a couple annoying side effects:
1) After rebooting, my pointer buttons are reversed. In others words:
> xmodmap -pp
There are 5 pointer buttons define.
Physical Button
Button Code
1 3
2 2
3 1
4 4
5 5
So I wind up always having to xmodmap them back to normal.
2) I can no longer link against libreadline.a unless I load vlc.
In other words, even though I've done this:
tce-load -i compiletc gcc gdb readline-dev
the following
cc -g -o program -lreadline -lcurses program.c
fails with linker complaints about not being able to find readline() or add_history() UNLESS I first load/run vlc.
