In that case, are /dev/3dfx and /dev/mouse owned by the same
user and group, and are the apps running as a user with permission
to access them ? I'm not up to speed, but I remember a time when
glide was setup to only available to users with extra permissions;
it sounds as if the demos may be su-ing to someone who can't read
input devices. I may be barking up the wrong tree.
