I have indeed tried to uncomment the line for AZxisMapping, though my note did not make this clear. Again, this did not work. It is my understanding that if I wish to use the mouse on the console, that I MUST use moused. Is it not possible to get a useful mouse on the console and in X11? Certainly it is true that the mouse is more useful in X11. Still, I do use it on the console, mainly for cutting and pasting. So I really would like to use both if possible. Here's the output from dmesg: % dmesg | grep psm0 psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0 psm0: model MouseMan+, device ID 0 So BSD is finding the mouse on psm0 as it is supposed to, and it is identifying the mouse model properly. I will try to troubleshoot by not using moused. Still, there ought to be a way to do this... Any other suggestions would be most appreciated. Frank --=-wNOzhw8kKieIepjg5ze9--
