Hi John,

We are trying to move away from HAL and to devd :-)

And I'm not trying to get rid of moused. Actually there is a race 
currently if moused or Xorg grabs the /dev/umsX first .... Is there a 
simple way to detect moused_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf . Then Xorg 
should not try to grab /dev/umsX . Only if moused_enable!="YES".

--HPS
