I've been a Linux user for about 3 years but I'm finding that BSD is definitely different in many ways. I have an IBM Thinkpad 570 (PII-366MHz) laptop that I've installed FreeBSD 4.7 on. The installation went okay but I'm having a problem getting the mouse working. When I enter Windowmaker, my mouse jumps all over the screen. I've even tried an external PS/2 mouse with the same results. I've run xf86config numerous times trying different configurations with no luck. I've researched the web but still have come up empty handed. I would appreciate any help that you can give. Thanks! Chad __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
