The MouseRemote is a mouse, amongst other things, and it's specifically intended to be connected inline with mice. As such, our protocol handler for mouse data streams is the correct place to put it. Ripping it out without simultaneously coming up with an equally functional and architecturally 'better' solution is not going to endear you to anyone. I did actually propose to Randall the implementation of a stackable 'interception' layer, again to be managed by moused, however with only one device (so far) in this particular circumstance, it didn't seem worth the effort. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
