I'm not quite sure what you mean when you say 'sysmouse' won't work. sysmouse(4) is a driver module -- not an executable program. I think you meant to say 'moused' doesn't work, so we'll work on that :-) What's in your /etc/rc.conf file? Here's what's in mine regarding mice: moused_enable="YES" moused_type="auto" moused_port="/dev/psm0" > If I use a serial mouse they both work fine. My PS/2 mouse used to work with > previous versions of FreeBSD. Hrmm very strange. Work through 'man moused' (an excellent manual page) and see how you get on. It's my guess that if you have 'auto' as I do above, you may have to change it for some other value -- the mouse type is not being explicitly probed. Or, and this is more likely, your devices are messed up. What is the output of ls -l /dev/psm0 /dev/sysmouse /dev/mouse ? best; gjvc -- [gjvc] 4.4BSD 4.ever!
