Hi all --

I've got a big, fat serial mouse that I'm _very_ fond of. I haven't got it to work simultaneously at the terminal and with X. Apparently, I can't have both. Different combinations of settings on rc.conf.local and XF86Config produce different results. I have updated OpenBSD from 3.5. I've not completed the /etc stage (which is on the Update FAQ) because I can't seem to mount my cdrom (well, that's another story). This might be of some interest to the X people, or maybe do you think it's an OpenBSD issue? Hey, maybe it's just me... Any ideas? Help/comments are appreciated. Thanks in advance for you time.

  Henry

PS: In case you're wondering why sometimes the wsmoused_flags="-p /dev/tty00", well, it's because I just gave it a shot, even though it wasn't suggested. Pardon my newbiness.
