I'd like to run evolution mail and calendar.  It installs fine but will not start.  If I try to start from terminal I get this error;
Failed to connected to any renderer:  XServer appears to lack required GLX support  Google searching the error leads me back to several Debian references but no solution that I can understand.  Most refer to Nvidia drivers but I have an Intel video card.  I ran Evolution on this computer when using R5. 

Microwatt is a speedy os on my old laptop but everything I try to install won't because of broken dependencies which I can't seem to fix.  Just too many issues.  If I can't get a solution today I am going back to R5.  Sad that no-one could tell me why the mouse and touchpad won't work in R8.

I am currently using R5 and am trying the R8 live from flashdrive on ASUS 1005HAB.  R5 works fine just wanted to try something new.  The issues are that taps on the touchpad do nothing and a USB mouse shuts off after around 3 seconds. As long as I keep moving the mouse or click it, it will continue to work.  If I stop for 3 seconds the light goes off and the mouse  stops.  I need to click it to get it working again.    I finally gave up on microwatt and decided to try R8 LXDE again. 

NEW PORTION
Solved the touchpad clicks easily enough by installing synaptiks.  Added benefit I can disable the touchpad for two seconds after any kestroke.  Solving the mouse issue took some time but I discovered it is caused by a bonehead idea of power saving by turning off the USB port if idle for 2 seconds.  Why anyone would choose such a low number is beyond me.  Edited file ;  sys/bus/usb/devices/4-1/power/ autosuspend_delay_ms from 2000 to 92000.  Now at least the mouse will stay on for 92 seconds.  I might try 999999 just to see what happens.  I can live with the 92 seconds for now.  So far I like R8 LXDE, was running R5 for the past six or eight months.
