1 I thought someone said that gpm was fairly straightforward to compile
on NetBSD? (I've always felt more than a little nauseous at the idea
of using a mouse to move the text cursor; I've seen/used it on old
MS-DOS systems, and utterly fail to see the appeal.)
2 moused? Do you mean wsmouse? I think that moused is a LINUXism,
though I could be wrong. Are you asking because you want to port
gpm to NetBSD? If so, wsmouse is probably the easiest way to go,
but be advised that serial mice cannot be used via wsmouse (so far
as I know), but most/all other mice, at least on port-i386, should
be accessable via wsmouse with a uniform protocol.
