	I know that there is a group working to get the best of all
possible worlds in a console driver for 386/netbsd, but i just have one
question/requet:

	Is there a mouse driver?  I think there should be.  Just becasue
someone doesn't have the facilites to run X (like, say *me*) does mean 
that they shouldn't be able to use thier mouse if they want.

	Imagine how handy it would be to have a mouse in screen!  (yeah,
i know someone would have to hack it up in a big way, but you KNOW it's
not gonna happen w/out mouse funcs in the driver.
