Yokota-san, I've had 2 mice that haven't worked with FreeBSD since you started doing the mice support. Both of them were defective mice (took them back to the store and exchanged them for an identical mouse that worked). Every weird, oddball mouce that I've ever tried on many different machines have just worked. In those cases where there were problems, you've been extremely helpful in getting me enough information to fix the problem (usually it boiled down to a configuration issue). I've thought of many kind words to describe your efforts, and "lazy" has never been one of them. I think that it is summer and people like to complain more than in the winter. It happens every year and is hard to not take personally. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
