I installed all the packages via the 'pkg' command. Your workaround worked for me. This seems to be a known issue because it has been mentioned elsewhere: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2013-September/044594.html Is this workaround necessary in the future, or is there a newer precompiled hald package which solves this so that you dont need to set moused_nondefault_enable in /etc/rc.conf? -- Craig
