Now select "3 Type" and then try the first one. Then select "2 Enable" and see if it works. Keep doing that until you find one that works - I dont know what exactly a "Microsoft Comfort Optical 3000 mouse" will need. Trial and error will hopefully solve that. Next to the missing modules. Well, they mean pretty much what they say, bits of X are missing. Did you install the x11/xorg meta port, or did you install bits and pieces one by one? I would go and install the x11/xorg meta port to make sure everything is there. Next start X to make sure it doesnt give those errors (the nv one might still appear - will look at that next). Ok, I have never attempted to install/use the nvidia drivers, but I am guessing they are in x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv in the ports tree. You might want to google around a bit to confirm that, or find more information. I dont have any experience installing or using nv drivers. Lastly, this is all in 7.0 which I believe is technically still a testing version. There may be issues I dont know about with ums or usb in general or X or X/nv in 7.0 - hopefully someone else can confirm if there are. PS - this should probably be in freebsd-questions@ as it is not really a current specific problem. :-) Cheers, Tim.
