Linux has something similar, but not the cool mouse pointer ;-)) Some questions ... is the moused limited for use on ttyv0 only ? Did you make the same experience like I, that moused doesn't work properly, when it's started from /etc/rc.i386 just before the getty's become active ?! Look, if I do the following, it works... /etc/sysconfig: # Cut & Paste in system console via moused(1) and vidcontrol -m on moused=YES # mouse port {/dev/cuaa0, /dev/cuaa1} mouseport=/dev/cuaa0 # mouse type {microsoft, mousesystems, mmseries, logitech, busmouse, # mouseman, ps/2, mmhittab} mousetype=mouseman /etc/rc.i386: # moused, cut & paste in syscons if [ "X${mouse}" != X"NO" -a ${mousetype} -a ${mouseport} ]; then echo -n ' moused' vidcontrol -m on ( sleep 5; moused -p ${mouseport} -t ${mousetype}) & fi The sleep has to be so long to make sure, that moused is started after getty on ttyv0 .... If you don't do this, moused doesn't work and you only see the mousepointer in the upper left corner ;-) Andreas /// - -- andreas@klemm.gtn.com /\/\___ Wiechers & Partner Datentechnik GmbH Andreas Klemm ___/\/\/ Support Unix -- andreas.klemm@wup.de pgp p-key http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~bal/pks-toplev.html >>> powered by <<< ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/Printing/aps-491.tgz >>> FreeBSD <<< -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBMc2o7/MLpmkD/U+FAQH08AP/dkchuD6/a8V25LX1UnBc444+Lw+ZEOyy mzwJitLsXG0axNqCS/NOqIAT7ALC1lHe4LeFV4wIdpqLI1g5Wf22b0FcepzvRAAb 0ER6w80n4z2Iw3qC846xuAlWXBEFkQlyt/+HYpFXk6aivgik4Ob0LKQcx1Ziot3V LncyvZuwsTY= =benl -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
