This is one of my gripes about the current build system- you can't specify
defaults for the configuration parameters. The current build system also has
some quirks, like the warnings on ./autogen.sh. Of course these things could
probably be fixed without too much hacking, but the current build system is also
very linux-centric, making ports to Win32, MacOS X, or IRIX a pain.

One of these days I'd like to completely redo pgserver's build system in clean,
OS-independent python code :)

DRIVER_SERIALMOUSE is unnecessary, but shouldn't cause any problems

Ah. Since pgserver can work with zero or more input drivers, this shouldn't
be necessary. It probably means you're using the wrong video driver.

Use the "panel" app manager.
However, the fact that the "null" appmgr failed to load probably means you don't have the
required widgets.

This would also be easier if we had a better config system that made the dependencies between
items clear, provided help for all items, and provided 'tasks' that could set up common options
for different platforms.
