To check if moused is >already running, have a look at, ># ps -ef | grep moused ---------- You can use the mouse without x, and it's pretty handy too, cut and paste between console screens and such. If you see the mouse with=20 # dmesg | grep psm and you see the moused with # ps -ef | grep moused then type=20 vidcontrol -m Which can be set in the rc.conf. then move the mouse and it should work. To cut and paste with a two button mouse highlight with the left button and paste with both buttons. Do this for every console screen you wish to use the mouse in. hope this helps.
