It happens extremely rarely. Maybe it's because I have an ISA bus mouse. I suppose I really should be using a PS/2 or USB mouse. (BTW, is a PS/2 mouse a type of bus mouse?) > Please try `kill -HUP' to moused next time. This will make moused > reopen the mouse port. What I did was "killall moused".

Well, I made the kernel about a couple of d/ays back. As for the rev numbers, they're: 1.334 for sys/dev/syscons/syscons.c, and 1.10 for /sys/dev/syscons/scmouse.c. I really don't think it's worth messing with too much, as it happens extremely rarely. Must be a freak occurence. I don't think it's worth pursuing any further, unless other people start complaining of similar problems. I'll try kill -HUP next time, and hopefully that will help... - Donn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
