>Number: 4525 >Category: conf >Synopsis: Mouse pointer on console not enabled when moused activated in rc.conf >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: change-request >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Sat Sep 13 09:40:01 PDT 1997 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Blaz Zupan >Organization: Medinet >Release: FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE i386 >Environment: 2.2-STABLE, but probably the same for 3.0-CURRENT >Description: If I set moused_type=something in /etc/rc.conf I would expect I can use my mouse on the console for cut&paste. But as the command "vidcontrol -m on" is never executed I don't see anything. I have to put "vidcontrol -m on" in /etc/rc.local or some other file to see the mouse pointer. The newly added rc.conf manpage claims, that moused_type is support for cut&paste on the console. What can I do with moused when I have "vidcontrol -m off"? :) >How-To-Repeat: Set moused_type=your_type_of_mouse in /etc/rc.conf and reboot the system and realize that there is no mouse pointer on the console. >Fix: Change /etc/rc.i386 so that when moused is started also "vidcontrol -m on" is executed. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
