Description Peter Grehan freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2005-03-03 09:20:19 UTC 
	When using sysmouse, the delta components require signed char arithmentic on powerpc. The comment for the code block just below implies this, but it's needed in the main case as well.

As an aside, NetBSD/PPC and Linux/PPC compile the entire server with -fsigned-chars. So far I haven't seen that this is necessary.

How-To-Repeat: 	Watch the pointer move to the top right corner of the screen and stay there without this patch.
