Description Joe barbish 2011-10-23 12:20:00 UTC 
The three-button mouse has gone the same way as the floppy drive.

I read a post saying that usb mouse has the copy/paste function enabled as
default. I tested this on 9.0 RC1 and can report that with a two-button USB
mouse the copy/paste function does not work.

This statement has to be added to /etc/rc.conf to enable two-button mouse copy/paste function. This works for all USB, serial port, and ps2 two-button mouses.  

moused_flags="-m 2=3"


Requesting that bsdinstall be updated to offer user option to enable two-button mouse copy/paste function.

Lets bring the secret out into the open that Freebsd has text console two-button mouse copy/paste function and make it easy for the user to enable this function using the bsdinstall process.
