Hi,

Small comment on my 9.0 Beta 1 installation at home. (All the other 
potential problems I've picked up have been reported and dealt with on 
this list already.)

Over the weekend I've decided to scrap my old, really worn out Microsoft 
PS2 mouse for a brand new laser-thingy Microsoft USB mouse. For fun I 
plugged the old one out, plugged the new one in and switched on. 
Initially the mouse was not picked-up or configured (this might have 
happed if I had Kudzu enabled) as expected.

Easy task, just run mousedrake (drakmouse, I forget now). Which I did. 
Mousedrake came up fine with the USB scoll button mouse selected, and I 
accepted. Unfortionately, the /dev/mouse link still pointed to 
/dev/psaux. A reboot (?!!, allowing for the remount of the devfs 
filesystem) did nothing to rectify this. Re-running mousedrake did 
nothing either. The /dev link still pointed to the wrong device.

I ended up creating the link from /dev/mouse to /dev/usbmouse myself and 
it started working perfectly. Surely this should be handled by mousedrake?

Apart from this, great work - cannot wait for Beta 2 and the full blown 
release.

Greetings,
Jaco
