Hi, Beech -

I found this bit of stuff in the rc.conf:

-----------------
# -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Mon Oct  3 08:28:56 2005
moused_flags=""ZAxisMapping" "4 5" "

-----------------

I don't understand why there are doubled-double quotes. This is the only
place in rc.conf that there is a number 5. Not sure what that command does
to the mouse daemon or if it's even a correct call.

Kind regards,
-- paz.
