Nope, moused used /dev/cuaa0, X used /dev/sysmouse. What are the device numbers on /dev/sysmouse supposed to be? I have: crw-rw---- 1 uucp dialer 28, 128 Feb 8 01:35 /dev/cuaa0 crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 128 Feb 8 00:58 /dev/sysmouse I killed moused, and set the X mouse pointer to /dev/cuaa0. The problem seems to have gone away. Either the above permissions are wrong, or moused is mildly broken. -- Zach Heilig (zach@blizzard.gaffaneys.com) | ALL unsolicited commercial email Support bacteria -- it's the only | is unwelcome.
