Any ideas? Wireless should not be an issue, it's just USB to the computer. This is what I've got for my USB mouse: /etc/rc.conf: usbd_enable=3D"YES" /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "Auto" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection That's it. If I've done anything else, I've forgotten it. The mouse works both in X and in the console. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
