Microsoft Wireless mouse works on PS/2 port, but not USB

2003-02-14 Thread AlanE
Stangest damn thing. It works on the ps2 port using an adapter, but doesn't
work (at all) when plugged directly into the USB hub. Anybody got any clues?

Not unless Juli made it so. If you need a 500 deep recursive make, you 
need professional care worse. 8=)

Known problem. The USE_ variables should not be set outside the
port's own Makefile. I think this is a design flaw, and at least
a convention that "private" vars are lowercase or Firstcapped
would help.

That's as may be, it's still a frog. Juli Mallett committed a patch
of mine to make(1) that forcibly stops recursion after 500 children
of children of ... even when pmake is used in a distributed fashion.

It should be MFC'd to stable any time now.
