With 512mb RAM should I worry? No need to worry. I have that set to 1200 and I have only 32MB RAM.

I thought this would only need be handled by the moused > binary, no? Why not? [Last posting tonight.] Peace all, This can be handled by the moused daemon. Look at the manpage for moused[8) in the CAVEATS section for details. Having this in the kernel mostly just changes the default mapping of the mouse buttons. I would recommend getting a real 3-button mouse and thus not having to worry about this. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
