USB mouse often not detected

2015-11-09 Thread Paco Willers
Hi, When using a PS/2 mouse everything worked fine. I swapped it for a USB mouse, but this mouse isn't always detected while booting my (386-based) OpenBSD 5.8-stable system. Replugging the mouse when the system is running usually solves the problem: the mouse is detected and works fine. Sometime

Just to clarify: Security: Neutral (it's all in-kernel, on the userland side it just simplifies code and is inherently security promoting as it just is a symmetry aspect) Will unifying it improve performance?: Yes, because programs with dynamic file sizes will be able to MMAP up to some poin

Really, unifying the buffer cache would make all sense in the world. Also, *all* other major OS:es have done this already, so even just doing it for the sake of symmetry would make sense. I think I talked to someone who suggested that an attempt to unify had been done before, and that the NF

Ok , I agree, and thank you for the accurate answer. OTOH the server was rejecting all the other request, (i do not think it was badly configure) and it ended up rejecting the good one also (after a lng time of use) I first look in nsd manpages to see if i could figure why and found nothing

Just a quick update: the mouse pointer problem was caused by wsmoused being activated. Stopping the daemon solves the problem in X. The problem was also present with fvwm, just didn't try it with wsmoused active before. E17, instead, often freezes while normal operation. On Mon, Nov 9, 2015 at 9:
