The following reply was made to PR kern/70607; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Matt Wright <matt@consultmatt.co.uk> To: Ian Dowse <iedowse@maths.tcd.ie> Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org, Anish Mistry <mistry.7@osu.edu> Subject: Re: kern/70607: [patch] Add Support for USB Microsoft Intellimouse (possibly others) Date: Tue, 9 Nov 2004 01:43:32 +0000 Hi, Not as far as I'm aware.
