Hey all, I just finished installing FreeBSD 6.3 RELEASE on my laptop, and after the install, I forgot I hadn't loaded the mouse yet, which I noticed after loading X and wondering why it wasn't moving. Anyway, I go back to the console and load sysinstall and then go to configuration, mouse, and enable the thing. When it asks if the mouse os moving, I press enter for yes because it is. After I exit that, NO MOUSE! The Mouse is a Targus USB mouse (The little clear and silver one that changes colors while it's on) and anyway, does anyone have an idea why this is doing it? I'm almost certain I've probably made an error or screwed up somewhere but like I said it works fine when sysinstall asks if it's moving so I'm just confused about it. Any help is appreciated as I'd really like to use it on my laptop but I have to have a mouse obviously because a lot of apps I use require X. Anyway, if I'm doing something stupid or plum forgot something, please let me know and flame me freely as it is pretty late and could easily be a user error ;) Thanks, -Allen
