Is there anything I can do to help improving the situation? The root of the issue is that there are just too many ways to configure input devices... Particularly mice. Marcus, jkim and I have tried to make accommodations for all of the cases, but it gets rather tricky. Users can have mice configured using psm0, ums0, (serial even), moused and we have to be able to figure out if they are statically configured in X or not, based on whether or not X has already opened one of the file descriptors. Based on analyzing all of that, we decide whether or not to advertise to X that it should attach the device. If you are using moused, then hald *should* recognize that and advertise /dev/sysmouse to X. Additional input devices, get added via moused and hald knows that /dev/sysmouse is already opened by X, so it shouldn't re-advertise the same port again. We desperately need to simplify our input layer, but I'm not certain exactly what the right answer is. robert. --=20 Robert Noland <rnoland@FreeBSD.org> FreeBSD --=-QQnqEH8343tI4CNFLM2w Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAknbnk0ACgkQM4TrQ4qfROOMfQCZAbzL6MIac/RULKteBlEaD4E8 qdsAn3Pn40yHozdbkGWlU764qm96tiDz =Uxj1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-QQnqEH8343tI4CNFLM2w--
