I think I might need some help from a developer or two so if anyone sees this who might be interested in helping, let me know... I have tried the followinf to get this thing to work: Same mouse on different machine with FreeBSD (works fine!) (IBM PC 350GL) Same mouse on different machine with Windows98 (works fine!) (clone system w/ Abit KA7 motherboard). Same mouse on original machine machine as a USB mouse (works fine!) (clone system w/ Asus P2B motherboard) Same mouse on original system with Windows 98 (works fine!) Same mouse on original system with fresh install of FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE (doesn't work! same problem of erratic behavior) Different USB mouse plugged into USB to PS/2 adapter on original system (works fine!) (Logitech Wingman Gaming Mouse) I think I have tried everything I know how at this point. I have eliminated all possible hardware problems (I think) and eliminated any wierd -STABLE or compilation problems that might be on my system. I could start enabling debugging code for the psm driver, but I'm not sure I would know what to do with the debug messages... Can anyone out there lend a hand?
