Well, that wasn't the case. My keyboard was toast and my mouse did start working when I replaced the keyboard, but today it's back to the same thing (actually, it comes and goes). I messed around for a couple of hours and nothing, so I decided to install Slackware 8 to test to see if it worked there, and as I thought, there were no problems. It works fine on the console as well as X. I'd like to use FreeBSD and learn more about it, but not being able to use a mouse doesn't give me much confidence, cause I really can't believe it can be this hard to get a simple mouse to work in FreeBSD. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions. Thanks To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
