Both my USB mouse and my PS/2 mouse work fine with two moused's running: [8:20am] brooks@minya (~): ps ax | grep moused 394 ?? Ss 0:01.09 /usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/ums0 -I /var/run/moused.= ums0 533 ?? Is 0:00.01 /usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/psm0 -t auto The PS/2 mouse is configured in /etc/rc.conf with the lines: moused_enable=3D"YES" moused_flags=3D"" and the USB mouse is handled by the default entrly in usbd.conf which is enabled in rc.conf with: usbd_enable=3D"YES" -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
