If 7.0 STABLE, you should=20 probably csup source and rebuild kernel and world. I had a similar=20 problem with the early release and it was related to usb devices not being = detected (which sounds like what your problem is.) BTW, I don't have anything in /etc/rc.conf regarding a mouse. If you=20 enable moused, you're overriding the default behavior of the usb mouse and = forcing it to behave according to your dictates. The mouse should work in Xorg without anything entered in /etc/rc.conf. The first thing you should do is go to the console, unplug and then replug = the mouse. You should see the mouse being disconnected and then=20 re-detected by messages written to console. If you don't see that, your=20 usb mouse isn't being detected properly. Paul Schmehl If it isn't already obvious, my opinions are my own and not those of my employer. --==========8E7BE461177B6695FC3B==========--
