mdetect (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

   * mdetect.{c,h}: applied patch from Richard Hirst to save and restore
     terminal settings on serial devices; "Should be safe, all I'm doing is
     tcgetattr() and tcsetattr(), which the code did before anyway elsewhere.
     I registered an on_exit() function to ensure settings are restored on
     overall timeout.  That meant calling exit(2) rather than _exit(2), so I
     restarted the timeout in case exit() itself hung.  I restructured main() a
     bit, but I don't think that should cause problems; there was/is no way
     stage1() could return NULL anyway - it either detects something or exits
     via the alarm().  Tested on i386 and ia64, with ps/2 and serial mice (and
     no mice).  serial mouse detection only works if I wiggle my mouse while
     mdetect runs, but that might be a feature of my mouse (and it ws the same
     before I changed the code).  If that is expected behaviour, it should be
     in the manpage.  If I have a serial console, then there is a little
     garbage on the line as mdetect runs and changes baudrate, but it recovers
     when mdetect exits."  Thanks, Richard!  (Closes: #131467)
   * mdetect.man: updated

mdetect (0.3) unstable; urgency=low

   * mdetect.c: search for USB mice on /dev/input/mouse0 first, so that

mdetect (0.2) unstable; urgency=low

   * mdetect.c: correct special-case IntelliMouse PS/2 logic so it actually
