Note the lack-of mouse cursor. >Fix: The problem is because "vidcontrol -m on" is not being called anywhere in the rc scripts. Two probable solutions: 1. Modify the usbd source (or usbd.conf, if it supports something like "&&" when passing the string to the shell) to do "vidcontrol -m on" when plugging in/unplugging a mouse. 2. Modify the rc files to support something like vidcontrol_init="yes" and vidcontrol_flags="-m on" in rc.conf. I'm very surprised no one's noticed this by now. :-) >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
