For some reason, my console mouse has stopped "pasting". It seems to be able to "copy" just fine; I can move and select text using the same arrow cursor I have always had. I am just not able to paste any text that I select. XFree86's "copy and paste" functionality has not changed. I have not changed either my hardware or my configuration settings. I suspect this problem started about 2 builds back. I would estimate about 3-4 weeks. That's a rough guess, however. I am currently running: FreeBSD FreeBSD 2.2.5-STABLE #0: Sun Feb 1 13:48:23 EST 1998 I invoke moused at boot with the following arguments /usr/sbin/moused -t microsoft -p /dev/mouse I then invoke vidcontrol with these arguments in a shell .rc /usr/sbin/vidcontrol -m on Though, this seems rather academic, as the mouse cursor actually "appears" and is able to select text, it just doesn't echo anything back when I click the second button. *shrug* -d To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe questions" in the body of the message
