I thought it was abolished in Linux some years ago and is not neccessary in FreeBSD anymore. Have you tried temporarily disabling HAL and checking if it was the cause of your problem? That would be my first suggestion for further diagnostics. > [...] but I lose mouse functionality when I switch from firefox to a > terminal and then try to switch back to firefox, the mouse pointer > gets lost and looks like a capital i . That cursor shape is a typical text field (input area) cursor. Otherwise, you could try using X terminals instead of switching to the text mode virtual terminals.
