Does anyone have any > recomendations? Hi, There are two main ways of setting up the mouse. The first is to go only with the X config and the second is to rely on the consile setup.

It would also be a handy to have the configuration files or those parts there of that are relevant. -- Alex Articles based on solutions that I use: http://www.kruijff.org/alex/index.php?dir=docs/FreeBSD/
