Is this syscons itself, or some other replacement driver, that you're referring to? On a completely different note, what sort of touch pad do you have, and do you have any problems with it? I suspect that I may have faulty hardware, but it behaves much worse under UNIX (where I effectively get random key clicks) to under Windows (where the worst that happens is the cursor occasionally jumping) - although this could be attributed to the Windows driver using absolute mode with 6-byte packets which may make framing errors easier to detect. -- Dr Graham Wheeler E-mail: gram@cequrux.com Director, Research and Development WWW: http://www.cequrux.com CEQURUX Technologies Phone: +27(21)423-6065 Firewalls/VPN Specialists Fax: +27(21)424-3656 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
