From 0ac7ee80207a09c63038b2a12c30803a447e5e56 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Kerrisk Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2015 10:45:32 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] bootparam.7: Remove crufty "Mouse drivers" options [Part of a general change to remove cruft from this page.] Much of the detail on device-driver specifics in this page dates from the 20th century. (The last major update to this page was in man-pages-1.14!) It's hugely out of date now (many of these devices disappeared from the kernel years ago.) Arguably, this kind of detail should never have been placed in a man page to begin with, since devices come and go. Remove such text, and where appropriate and possible add pointers to files in the kernel Documentation/ directory.
