I can confirm the lack of mouse input on 10.6.1, at least with my Microsoft one, which I use with USB Overdrive (as the Microsoft driver doesn't get on very well with VMWare Fusion). This is down to the way that Allegro detects mice. It enumerates USB devices, looking for usage (whatever that is) 0001:0002. If it finds one of these, it enables mouse input. My MS mouse comes back as 000C:0001, so no mouse input for me. If you change the src/macosx/hidman.m file within the Allegro source, you can get MS mice to work - I'm not sure whether this means that "normal" mice like Apple's Mighty Mouse will then stop working. (I used a utility from Apple's web site to figure this out (HID Explorer) - http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/samplecode/HID_Explorer/index.html.)

Was this to install the kernel extensions for tun/tap or something? I didn't have that much of a play, as the absence of mouse control makes it rather difficult to do anything, but this looks very promising, especially the introduction of networking support and dynamic compilation.
