You want it to > be opened *after* you plug it in. that's if your using a normal serial mouse... but I'm using a ps/2 mouse... so there isn't a "disconnect" signal... as far as I know... of course I guess I should make the SIGHUP patch affect bus and ps/2 mice only then... currently as it stands moused dies when it recieves a SIGHUP.. :) also... does the moused make the mouse device the controling terminal? if it doesn't then it won't recieve the SIGHUP when it gets unplugged... thanks for your comments... ttyl..
