Good.

'cat /dev/input/mice' only works for root and gives me mouse language. Oh, chmod g+rw and chown root:input on /dev/input/mice helps. Now user can get mouse talk (and a prompt in mouse glyphs.) But still no activity on the desktop. Maybe I should do this on a fresh devuan install. This is on a system that started as wheezy, became jessie with openbox and without systemd, then became devuan. Other than that, it's an up-to-date devuan. -fsr _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
