Note that LEGACY_CONSOLE is a default > yes option. Agreed for the general FreeBSD case (x86 platforms, arm embedded, etc). Outside of the general case, are there any instances where it wouldn't make s= ense to install these tools? I find moused to be a less helpful tool on my text only console VMs, but my u= se case seems likes the minority, not the majority. The other tools seem really useful though when dealing with fun terminal emu= lation issues, but does it make sense to install these tools on a device lik= e a tablet for instance where the user interface is X11? Thanks!=
