I'm not sure why, but directvnc seems to be broken. No matter what I do, I cannot make it recognize any mouse. Searches on the internet seem to indicate that this is a DirectFB issue, and I pretty much believe it. I'd like to have a USE flag, "nomouse", or similar, to patch one file to disable mouse input (since I don't need it in my application anyway). Someone out there already did the hard work for me, and made this patch: http://www.0x90.org/~semen/directvnc-mouse.patch Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge directvnc 2. run directvnc Actual Results: dfb.c <69>: (#) DirectFBError [dfb->GetInputDevice( dfb, DIDID_MOUSE, &mouse )]: Requested ID not found! Expected Results: Correct execution. I don't need mouse control, I bet some others don't either. Please please please can I have a USE flag?

Fixed (as new revision), thanks for the submission! Note that I reverted your logic: the USE flag is "mouse", not "nomouse".
Perfect, thank you!
