https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246956 Bug ID: 246956 Summary: x11-servers/xorg-server: Add information for moused users to pkg-message (e.g., serial mice) Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: x11@FreeBSD.org Reporter: grembo@FreeBSD.org Flags: maintainer-feedback?(x11@FreeBSD.org) Assignee: x11@FreeBSD.org Created attachment 215192 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=215192&action=edit Add info about setting the correct event mask for oldskool users In https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=360637 the default kern.evdev.rcpt_mask was changed to 12. This breaks setups of users relying on moused (e.g., serial mice). The attached patch adds instructions for those users (as finding any advice googling yielded no results). Note that the slightly different wording to the paragraph above (following => this) was done intentionally, so the readers eye won't get caught in exactly the same pattern. (p.s. pkg-message still recommends setting this to 6, while the kernel now uses a default of 12 - maybe this should be aligned at some point). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
