The mouse port on the switch is set up to accept the PS/2 type of plug. Both of my newer systems use this type connection, but on my main server I had my 3-button Logitech working via /dev/ttyd0. This worked flawlessly for years --- except for having cables everywhere and the headache of having to change heads if a server failed to boot. This was why I went with the switch. The gotch is that my Logitech mouse acts strangely with moused -p /dev/psm0 -t mouseman. There is a long delay on the left-button response time. Sometimes a click will open an xterm right away; sometimes it takes several seconds; and at yet other times the left-button click does nothing. Also, pasting things with the middle-button takes several seconds at least; sometimes it doesn't work. I'm guessing that there are few people using BSD with a switch and also using the Logitech. Can anyone offer any suggestions about resolving this issue? Are there any other mice with 3 buttons, that paste with the middle button, and that use /dev/psm0? moused seems like a great utility, but I haven't found a solution in its man page. thanks, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
