Thank you very much:) Yes. But do not expect the Winmodem to work, and you will need to hack a single axis, one buttom mouse device, if you want to make the "jog dial" work (took me a couple of hours, but the code is incredibly unclean, license-wise AND code-wise AND style-wise... as I said, a hack). Also, though the hardware could support it, there's no easy way to seperate the left button from the touchpad tap "button" to get a "3 button mouse" without chording. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
