Not _that_, but this. :-) Don't make it dependant on syscons. It's some sort of a super-driver layered on top of either sio or mse or psm, but only losely related to the console driver itself. You could actually even have a mouse but don't have a keyboard or graphics card, even though it would hardly make sense. Anyway, i'm (naturally :) more concerned about pcvt users. We should avoid things that would require more console-driver dependant hacks in the Xserver. (The Xserver would need hacks for both mouse scenarios anyway, for a reasonable transition time.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
