I'll try the auto -t type. Yes! But still bizarre. Let's see if I can do it from an xterm here. Save typing. --yes. sage# moused -p /dev/cuaa0 -d -f -t auto moused: PnP COM device rev 1.0 probe... moused: modem status 0603 moused: alternate probe... moused: cannot determine mouse type on /dev/cuaa0 moused: port: /dev/cuaa0 interface: unknown type: unknown model: generic sage# Does this suggest that there is a modem on /dev/cuaa0? I thought the modem was yanked weeks or months ago. Does the status 0603 indicate a bad port, perhaps? gary > > Unless your MouseMan is one of very old models, moused should be > able to detect it is MouseMan. > > Kazu > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message > -- Gary D.
