   I'm a cat lover who likes to run xneko.  The kitty is really cute and
   I enjoy seeing it chase the mouse around the screen.  However, when I
   tried to run it on M11-113-4 on a parallax display, I don't get a
   kitty when I run xneko.... I only get a mess of some lines that tries
   to chase the mouse.  I just wanted to let you know about this
   unfortunate circumstance so that xneko can be fixed in the future....
   Do you have any idea why kitty goes to pieces on a parallax??

This is almost definitely a bug with the X server on the parallax
displays -- I have seen several bug reports about various programs
that fail on the parallax in similar ways.

As such, there isn't much we can do about this.  Sorry.
