Hello freebsd-ppc & Nathan!

I have FreeBSD ppc working on a g4 macbookpro 12in.

It works pretty awesome.

The only nit I have is the mouse has a funny bug where after I hit a 
mouse button, then the keyboard is unresponsive until I touch the 
trackpad to move the mouse.  I'm wondering if there's a fix in place for 
this?

One other question, is there a way to make holding down another key + 
hitting mouse button act as 2nd and 3rd mouse buttons?  Linux seems to 
have this feature: http://box.matto.nl/linuxibook.html look under 
"Pasting with one button mouse in Linux":

> dev/mac_hid/mouse_button2_keycode = 126
> dev/mac_hid/mouse_button_emulation = 1

If there's no time for this, any pointers to get started will be good.
