Allthough it's not obvious from dmesg, I have a Sun Type 6 USB mouse with three buttons: % dmesg | grep ^ums ums0: <vendor 0x0430 product 0x0100, class 0/0, rev 1.00/1.02, addr 2> on uhub1 ums0: 3 buttons. > So right now I think it's either the mouse daemon, or Xorg. I would say it's X.org. So many things not functioning any more... Outputting of the edit buffer does not happen when switching the text mode consoles. > FreeBSD 7.x with Xorg. FreeBSD 7 Stable, xorg-7.3_1. By the way, could you try another thing I find problematic since using X.org? Setting: Switch on Num Lock first. Open an X terminal. Have an image file available, and xzgv. Then run "xzgv -tz <inage>" from within the terminal. When you quit xzgv with the 'q' key, Num Lock LED will go off, but Num Lock mode will still be on. Press Num Lock key twice, LED is there again. Now run xmms by typing "xmms", and quit it. Same thing. And now, run "gv" and quit it. Now Num Lock keeps on! Same with xpdf. Summary: Num Lock goes off: xzgv, xmms, gnp Num Lock keeps on: gv, xpdf, xvidtune, avidemux2, gmplayer Any idea what this strange behaviour could come from? -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
