It >seems like it is .... Looks like that. It's because /dev/psm0 it's just a character device, and it's impossible to open it [independently] several times (by the way it's why impossible under FreeBSD to have more than one guest at a time). But /dev/sysmouse it's tty, so it doesn't have such limitations. -- Vladimir To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
