I started using Vladimir's evdev-aware moused a long time ago, and I am a
big fan of it. I just realized that hms had become the default driver in
FreeBSD 15 and the ums driver would soon be a thing of the past. Yep, now
we just have to remove the old moused program from the base system and
replace it with Vladimir's moused.
