Hi! My usual configuration is 11 virtual consoles and XFree on ttyvb with xdm runned. It looks like it's not possible to have such layout in 2.2 freebsd with moused enabled. Am I rigth? I understand the reason, but I think something should be done to fix a problem. Correct me, if I'm on wrong way, but I see two methods: 1) To create a named socket, to which moused will copy all data from mouse port and to have XFree to read this socket as a mouse. It looks easy and I'm going to try.. 2) I'm not very well know what's happend when X11 activated/deactivated. Is it possible for user process (moused) to be warned of such event to release /dev/mouse (or what it is runned on) to make it possible for XFree to communicate with mouse? Any suggestions?
