Re: xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/wsmouse

This is strange.  Your fbtab looks right, same as mine.  Your XFree86 is
same as mine.  More hints later.

To everyine, this is a 'heads up'.  There is an issue that is going to be a
'known bug' this release, whos workaround is basically 'dont do that'.

Specifically, because the X server now drops priveledges to user _x11 after
starting, switching to console while X is running, logging in (which
chowns the files X needs to be user _x11 to the user logging in) then trying
to switch back will not work successfully.

I did note you must have an older install, aka you must not have installed
from scratch, but rather upgraded, because in cvs and on my machine
_x11 uses uid 35.

todd:4$ sudo grep _x11 /etc/master.passwd
_x11:*:35:35::0:0:X server:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin
todd:5$ 

Please do a full install instead of an upgrade if you don't want to spend
time figuring out what other things are 'not quite right'.
