If you try to follow the various FAQs, they recommend(ed) using Sysmouse, which causes X to misbehave with moused. Just for the sake of completeness, if you are, in fact, using moused, the correct device is /dev/sysmouse, but /dev/mouse is really just a symlink to it. /Joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
