Tell me about it. I had a hell of a time to get it to work. What kind of mouse do you have? I use a Genius 3 button mouse with a selector switch for three button/two button protocol. The way mine works is with /dev/sysmouse as the port for X mouse and /dev/cuaa0 as the port for moused. Both are declared as mousesystems mice. You'll have to play around with the settings, but I think the important thing is not to use the same port for both X and moused if you have a mousesystems kind of mouse. I don't know about microsoft mice. Maybe there should be a faq put together about all these mouse issues, because I've seen these same questions a hundred times. We could put all our different working setups in it. I hope that helps. Pierre P. van Leeuwen pvl@nanoteq.com http://www.nanoteq.co.za -----Original Message----- From: Rafael A.
