After getting it up and running I was still faced w/ two problems: 1) On my COMPAQ DESKPRO 5190 and NEC MultiSync 3Fg monitor I can't get the mouse to be recognized. X Windows will only load if I specify /dev/sysmouse but, regardless of which protocol I choose the mouse will not work. 2) Xwindows loads at the incorrect screen resolution (windows occupy the entire screen) w/ SVGA 800x600 settings and Cirrus 5134 chipset specified (I had similar problems w/ Linux but not as bad). Can anyone be of some assistance? Greg McNichol Gc@mcnichol.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
