I just bought a PC Concepts optical mouse and it works fine on Windows 98, but it fails to be usable with FreeBSD. I tried all of the protocol options offered by sysinstall and all (except "auto") worked the same. The mouse would move normally up and to the right, but any movement down or to the left resulted in the cursor moving to the bottom or left edge o the screen. "Auto" was stranger with the mouse jumping around wildly and parts of the syscons going to inverse video plus random characters appearing on the screen. Since it simply works on Windows (no software changes), I am baffled that it fails so miserably under FreeBSD. Has anyone seen this? Any fix/work-around? Thanks, R.
