Important stuff: FreeBSD 1.0 EPSILON, SYSCONS kernel config plus NEW_SELECT
and busmouse minus math emulation and pcfs. XFree86 1.3u1.

In XFree86, keyboard input is buffered until the mouse is moved. I had
this problem before using pccons -- using syscons and/or NEW_SELECT haven't
made a difference.

I'm using the busmouse from ftp.cdrom.com:/pub/XFree86/mice/busmouse.tar.z.
It is installed, as per the instructions, with non-blocking I/O, i.e. minor
device number is 1.

Anyone know what it's going to take to make this, or any, combination work?

Thanks.
