The original code for determining the capacity of a disk only worked for
ATAPI drives, leaving us poor SCSI users in the cold. The code uses the
standard Linux CD-ROM driver routines, so it should work on any supported
drive. It's basically just a copy of Keith Jones FreeBSD code.

for Linux!!! I tested this using host OS kernel 2.2.14, and was able
to use telnet, ftp, irc, lynx, etc. Because it is a packet filter
solution, you aren't able to talk to the host machine, only to other
machines on the network. The patch itself is in
patches/patch.ethlinux-splite.
X servers that I've seen, however on other X servers it makes all
key mappings into absolute junk. We need to continue to work on this
patch to support all X servers and all key maps.

cylinders, heads, and spt of each hard disk to be 1 instead of 0. This
caused the BIOS to report the existence of the hard disks, even when
they were never configured. The most obvious symptom of this problem
was "read multiple issued to non-disk" when a cdrom was enabled, which
happened because the BIOS tried to send hard disk commands to the CDROM.
which notifies them that the mouse_enabled bit has changed. Now that
mouse_enabled can be initialized or modified by parameter events in
addition to GUI events, the guis must be prepared for it. I have pasted
empty method definitions into mouse_enabled_changed_specific for all
guis except for X11, which I did the right way. The implementation
of this function must use the argument "val" rather than reading the
parameter.

goes in/out of mouse capture mode. This is critical because
bx_options.Omouse_enabled is used to control whether the mouse
events are sent into the hardware queue or not (keyboard.cc).
This is only a partial fix though, because changing the mouse
enabled setting in the control panel has no effect on the gui.
