I had exactly the same thing happen a while back, the mouse was on all ttyv's *except* 0. I have (and always have had) ``allscreens_flags="-m on 80x30"'' set. I never looked into the cause, but it suddenly started working again properly. Since I track -stable I assume that it was a bug that got fixed so the problem went away after a make world. I can't be sure, but that seems to be the most likely explanation. > ./danfe > > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -- "there's a long-standing bug relating to the x86 architecture that allows you to install Windows too" -Matthew D.
