Since I don't know what you may or may not have already tried to correct the problem, I may waste some bandwidth here, but c'est la vie.. Reboot your machine, and enter the visual kernel configuration. Check for conflicts, in particular, in the "Input" section. I do not know what type of mouse you have (ie. PS/2, serial) so that is up to you :) If another device is relying on the same port address or IRQ, clicks of the mouse could quite possibly trigger a conflict, and the most common side effect of such a conflict is a temporary or permanent lock up. You may want to re-run the mouse daemon config to verify it is set correctly. Execute /stand/sysinstall as root (without X running) and find the mouse daemon config. Run it, set it to your mouse type, and test it. I'm going to assume that you're using XFree86 as your X package. If so, it may be worthwhile to run the X config tool and verify the mouse config there. Beyond those generalized tips... There is little else I can do now but hope, and indeed pray, for the well-being of your troubled little rodent friend. Peace be with thee :-) .-----------============-----------. : Ryan Thompson -*- ryant@home.com : .--------------------------------------------. : # config world : : # make world : : - Can your OS do THAT?! - Ryan T. : `--------------------------------------------' To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
