OK, I've been watching it long enough.  Running (now) SCHED_4BDSD seems to make
the mouse far more active (as far as the movements of the cursor are concerned),
but I still havr great problems in getting mouse clicks taken.  They ARE
accepted, but I must lick aboout 4 times to get a single moouse-click accepted.
 I'm trying hard to read as much as I can about xorg problems, becauase I don't
seem to see this in the mouse usages in the virtual-ttys, only in Xorg.

Tell me, I haven't followed much of the history about Xfree86 the last few years
(far more concerned with serious health problems), do you know why there aren't
any Xfree86 ports in our ports anymore?  I checked, they ARE releasing new
software, it works, it actually builds far, far faster/easier, howcome our ports
are ignoring Xfree86 in favor of Xorg?  Not being fascetious here, I really
don't know.  I'm thinking I would like to experiment to see if the Xfree86 stuff
works for my mouse better, but I would really rather use our ports, than getting
a release directly from XFree86 (I don't think they even have FreeBSD binaries
anymore).
