Sorry about the late reply. I was using AccelX 4.1 in -stable when I noticed it worked. I'm now using XFree86 3.3.2 in -current and the button doesn't work at all. xev doesn't output anything when the button is pressed. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net /* FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
