Removing 'moused' and having X talk directly to >cuaa0 works. The mouse operates fine with just X. It appears that something >got broken in the moused upgrade. It is just that the "-i type" (show info) option probably couldn't determine what your mouse is. `moused' is not able to detect the protocol type of the serial mouse if the mouse does not support the PnP COM device specification. Would you manually invoke `moused' in foreground, debug mode? moused -t mousesystems -D -f -d -p /dev/cuaa0 (You must be root to do this.) Now move mouse and see debug output. You will see button status and X Y count values on screen. See if mouse movement and printed values agree. Type ^C to stop `moused'. Kazu
