Synopsis: sysutils/hal: hald-addon-mouse-sysmouse runs fstat to poll mice every 2s, eats CPU State-Changed-From-To: open->analyzed State-Changed-By: marcus State-Changed-When: Sat Nov 15 17:50:57 UTC 2008 State-Changed-Why: This is true, and currently, there isn't a better way to do what needs to be done. Reimplementing the KVM code from fstat is too complicated for the simple task required. I am working on an enhancement to procstat which will allow this fork/exec problem to go away. Until then, the only workaround is to have hald ignore your mouse device. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=128826
