It may be a hardware thing. I've had this problem with other OS's as well. Some computers' PS/2 ports just don't seem to like those switchboxes (Dell Optiplex 590s have this issue; I use them for gateways), and it's even flakier when there are PS/2-serial adaptors involved. Try a combination that doesn't require an adaptor, if you have that option. Frankly, I've given up, and just attach a cheap mouse to each box when necessary, and share only the keyboard and monitor. -d To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
