I have long been annoyed by the problem that Xorg is frozen if I use moused, unless the mouse is in movement. Just imagine you type something and it only shows up when you move your mouse. Or if you watch a video ... you basically have to keep the mouse in movement all the time. I am/have been using the following CPUTYPEs on different machines: pentium4 - not affected pentium-m - affected core2/nocona - affected I just had the idea this might be an optimization problem and I rebuild src/usr.sbin/moused with CPUTYPE=athlon64 and it works. I've put the following into my make.conf: # moused bug workaround .if ${.CURDIR:M*/usr.sbin/moused} .if defined(CPUTYPE) .if ${CPUTYPE} == core2 CPUTYPE=athlon64 .elif ${CPUTYPE} == pentium-m CPUTYPE=pentium3 .endif .endif .endif
