I do not use a mouse much with Xen myself and have not had issues with it when I had to, but in the past people have reported a lot of issues with Xen and broken mouse. The solution for some people seems to be to use a tablet emulation instead of mouse. Google for "xen tablet". I do not know if FreeBSD has the corresponding driver and moused support, but it might be worth checking out. -- Janne Snabb / EPIPE Communications snabb@epipe.com - http://epipe.com/
