If you really want to make it work, I think all you need to do is get moused running without a mouse (I got it to run without complaint with "moused -P -p /dev/null -t busmouse") and then configure X to use /dev/sysmouse. I'd suggest you just buy a cheap mouse, I'm pretty sure you should be able to find something that works for under $10. -- Brooks To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
