My only previous recollection was Jordan getting confused and getting the dialog box backwards at one point. > When doing a clean install from CD, one of the dialogs that > comes up in the configuration phase asks, "Do you have a non-USB mouse > attched?" This dialog defaults to No, which makes it even more confusing. > To add insult to injury, if you choose No, usbd will be enabled in > /etc/rc.conf, whether you have a mouse or not. First, you are confusing two issues. usbd gets turned on if you have USB, period. The mouse question is about moused and has absolutely squat to do with usbd. > Since I think the pendulum has swung over towards USB mice being the > majority, I think a better flow for this would be something like: > > Enable USB support for mice, and other USB devices? [Yes] No This is currently automagical. > Enable support for a PS/2 (non-USB) mouse? Yes [No] Perhaps the dialog should be reworded to say 'PS/2, Serial, or Bus mouse'. -- John Baldwin <jhb_at_FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/Received on Mon May 12 2003 - 09:07:29 UTC
