This would be added to FreeBSD either by emulating gpm or by adding specific support for our mouse api. The latter is probably not too difficult---ask sos to tell you which manpages to read, and then start hacking ncurses. Alternatively, Thomas Dickey has indicated that he might even be willing to write support for our mouse api provided we tell him where the documentation is. :-) Anyways, I did look at this briefly before, and I don't think it would be much work. -- This .sig is not innovative, witty, or profund.
