Re: serial mouse in xfree86 (openbsd 3.2) - help!

> You need to add /dev/tty00 to /etc/fbtab, on the /dev/ttyC0 line, so

I did this, booted and it didn't work, I saw the /dev/tty00 was now "root"

However, in a craze of passion I chmod 777 /dev/tty00 and it worked!!!!!

WOHOOO!!!! THANK YOU! I was about to ditch openbsd and go back to netbsd ;)

Now I need to know if I should change the /etc file from 600 to something else... what exactly is the right permission for the /dev/tty00 file?

And I take it I can only run the mouse on ttyC0 which is first screen?

Thanks!

This really should be in some FAQ somewhere ;)

Do you need help?
