I've always wondered why FreeBSD *ever* had this ugly "look-we-can-make-it- like-in-wind0ze" mouse pointer on the console. I've been always building kernel with SC_ALT_MOUSE_IMAGE; I'm really hoping (if this nonsense has to stay) there will be an option to completely disable it and all related code paths when vt(4) eventually replaces syscons(4). ./danfe _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
