It's possible that there's a switch somewhere on the mouse that makes it go from "microsoft" to "mousesystems" try toggling the switch and alternating between moused settings for "microsoft" and "mousesystems". Some mice have the switch but "mousesystems" doesn't seem to work properly, so your best bet is to try both toggles with moused set as "microsoft", once you get that working you may want to try the other position and "mousesystems" in order to get use of your third button if you have one. If your mouse doesn't have a toggle... well then save this for future reference. :) -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
