BTW, if I try cat temporarily unavailable." I have the similar problem. I have no time to look at this more closely, because my systmes boot rather rare. The symptoms are the same, but: once I had both of my PS/2 (3 and 2 button) working good for me at two similar Zenith workstations running FreeBSD 2.0.5 Then something happened and I was unable to use 3 button mouse at both of the machines, we even thought it (mouse) is broken. But, if I boot with 2-button mouse connected and then replaces it with the 3-buttoned one just on fly and restart xdm everything works right. Something with initialization I guess, but I haven't got to it yet. If anybody solved it already, please mail me too. alexis -- Live fast -- die young
