To check if moused is already running, have a look at, # ps -ef | grep moused And it will catch a running moused process.

Nope. That just picks the right driver. You'll need to tweak the driver settings on your own. The entries for this will end up in /etc/rc.conf, namely, a 'moused_flags' entry. > >> Please, what am I doing wrong?? > > > >The use of the mouse is fairly limited on the console.

You can, but I've never used it much myself. I have an Intellimouse with a third button (that wheel-thing) so I have never actually had to deal with this problem. If you have a two-button mouse, I would seriously consider purchasing a three-button serial mouse; you can find them for ~$10 US easily. -- Crist J.
