I ran into a similar issue one-time (just that once) :) because I somehow got two moused processes running. Try typing "ps -auxww | grep -i mouse" and see what's going on. Also, something I learned that is helpful if you use a USB and/or HID (cordless) mouse is to put /dev/sysmouse in your XF86Config file, so that either X xterms or other virtual consoles can use the mouse driver. Best of luck, (I haven't even gotten X working yet on my FreeBSD 4.5 with an ATI All in Wonder 128 16mb AGP (Rage 128, r128) and Dell M781p monitor :( so wish me luck too) *grins* P.S.
