Description Bruce M Simpson 2002-09-11 13:30:01 UTC 
	In rc.syscons, moused is passed incorrect command line arguments when
	several flags are specified.

Fix: The patch below corrects the problem.
How-To-Repeat: 	If I use the following flags in rc.conf to start up moused with
	support for taps using my GlidePoint tablet on the Vaio, then
	moused doesn't start due to incorrect command line arguments:-

	moused_enable="YES"
	moused_port="/dev/psm0"
	moused_flags="-3 -m 1=4 1=1"
	moused_type="auto"

Using "-m 1=4 1=1" violates options syntax, at least for the standard 
getopt parser. The man page for moused says that you can use 
multiple instances of the -m option. Does this work if you use 

moused_flags="-3 -m 1=4 -m 1=1"  
?

This is your fault. Correct variant is: "-3 -m 1=4 -m 1=1"
At my system, "-m 2=3 -m 3=2" works without any problem.
