Hello As you probably notice there are two different mouse configurations, one for the console and the other for X. I remember reading that there is a conflict between the system mouse, moused and XFree86 4.x, I am not sure if it has been fixed or not. I would recommend keeping it disabled. (moused_enable=NO in /etc/rc.conf) Try $ dmesg | grep mouse to see if you mouse is being recognized by the computer you should receive an output that looks something like this: $ dmesg | grep mouse psm0: model Generic PS/2 mouse, device ID 0 $ Here is the section mouse of my XF86Config file, it is for a ps2 three button mouse Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/psm0" EndSection I hope this helps Nathan Kinkade wrote: >On Sat, 22 Jun 2002 05:54:43 -0700 (PDT) >Ronnie Clark <ronj_clark@yahoo.com> wrote: > > > >>Hello all again... >> >>Well, I have tried all of the suggestions, but nothing >>has seemed to work.
