I can not = get the mouse daemon or X to initialize the mouse. FreeBSD recocnizes the= USB mouse during installation, but I can not configure it. b) I have a 3dfx VooDoo5 5500 PCI graphics card - the only driver listed = is a VooDoo3 (generic). =20 2) How do I tell the OS where to look for the drivers once their located,= and how do I update the drivers? These are probably very stupid questions, but the greatest amount of succ= ess I've experience to date is the ls command (definately a newbie). Thanks, ShawnGet more from the Web.
