I've been watching the cia bot, so I saw that you had done this for the 
nVidia driver. Now I get to see MiniTerminal in all it's glory. Very 
nice. Be's HelloWorld sample works too of course - always nice to see 
though.

The input server doesn't seem to work though - I have added a "launch 
$SERVERS/input_server" line after the registrar, but the keyboard input 
doesn't show up in MiniTerminal and the mouse pointer doesn't move. It 
seems like there is some input server stuff happening though, because 
pressing control-alt-delete brings up another window (title off screen 
so I can't see what the window is exactly).

Anything I can do to help debug this? Or does the current state of the 
svn "work" like this for everyone?

btw maybe it's time to spawn a "users" list? As haiku gets to a stage 
where more people want to try it, this list might become flooded with 
messages like this. Hopefully this one is not too annoying for the devs 
as I have some C++ experience and am willing to dig in to try and find 
out what's happening if necessary :).

Thanks
Simon
