Message-ID: <20020610135855.W44026-100000@zoot.corp.yahoo.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=conf/39125 presents an interesting hypothesis, namely that vidcontrol -m ought to be enabled by default in usbd.conf. I tend to agree with that premise, but before I commit it I was curious as to what the "cost" of doing this would be. Specifically, I have a usb mouse, but I spend almost all my time in X, so when I need the copy/paste stuff in the console, I just run vidcontrol by hand. It would be more convenient to have it "just work," but I'd hate to screw over low resource users in the proces... Doug -- "We have known freedom's price. We have shown freedom's power.
