Now we have two options: a) modify `moused' to use `select()' We need to 1) patch `moused'. It makes `moused' work with not only with `psm' but also with `mse'. Although not mentioned in this thread of discussion, `mse' is also a non-blocking device and currently doesn't work with `moused'. We don't need to update any documentation/FAQ in this case, I expect. b) create blocking nodes We need to 1) create a blokcing node each for `psm' and `mse', 2) change `moused's built-in default of using `/dev/psm0' for the PS/2 mouse; it should now refer to the new blocking node, 3) and update documentation/FAQ. I prefer a) to b), because a) seems simpler. Kazu
