Not really... Only thing I can think of is a message I see at boot time that says something like "moused: unable to open device /etc/ums0: device not ready/device is busy" or something like that, but that was only after I put the 'moused_port' entry into rc.conf. Before that I used to get "moused: unable to open device /dev/psm0: device not configured". But even then (pre-moused_port) moused wouldn't start with -z 4. > > roman@freepuppy ~ 1001:0 > grep moused /etc/rc.conf > moused_port="/dev/psm0" > moused_type="auto" > moused_enable="YES" > moused_flags="-a 1.5" > roman@freepuppy ~ 1002:0 > ps auxww|grep moused > root 161 0.0 0.2 916 556 ??
