Description terrance 2000-08-09 18:40:00 UTC
after using mouse in Xfree86 mouse suddenly locks up and doesn't free up.

Tried to exit Xfree86 and restart still locked, also ends up locked in terminal window
although when using it there no problem seems to exist. 
Until locked by Xfree86.

How-To-Repeat: use Mouse in Xfree86 under various applications mouse suddenly stops responding.

XFree86-3.3.6 or -4.0?

I don't see this behaviour at all.  You haven't really given 
us any information, though.  We need to know what your 
moused(8) options are and what your XF86Config's Pointer  
section looks like.

That's quite unlikely, given that the originator is using 3.3.6. :-)

Ciao,
Sheldon.

Ah! Food for a separate PR then :)  (teaches me to go to sleep on
the job).

Comment 7 terrance 2000-08-10 17:42:30 UTC
My XF86Config Pointer section looks pretty standard. The Mouse is a
Microsoft Wheel Mouse PS2 connector. It was selected during setup via the
"Visual" config and set to "auto" for the mouse selection.

Section "Pointer"
   Protocol        "Microsoft"
   Device          "/dev/mouse"
EndSection

Is there any thing else you may need to look at? 

Thanks
Terrance

With bugmeister hat on, reassign from inactive committer. 

Is this still a problem with modern versions of FreeBSD?

Does this problem still recur in modern versions of FreeBSD?
