XFree86 3.3.6 can't handle USB mice, you need to go up to at least XF4.0. To get mine to work with USB I'm having to use moused and then tell xfree to use /dev/sysmouse. Its not a great solution (only get 3 buttons) and I've heard there are better solutions, but I don't know what they are. Good luck, and be sure to report back on anything you find, there are a lot of us looking for a better solution to this problem. -Brandon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
