Explaination: USB mice are handled by devd. So if the system detects the presence of a ums device, devd "remote-controls" moused to activate this mouse. # The entry below starts moused when a mouse is plugged in. Moused # stops automatically (actually it bombs :) when the device disappears. attach 100 { device-name "ums[0-9]+"; action "/etc/rc.d/moused start $device-name"; }; This is from /etc/devd.conf. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
