The dialogue box where you test to see if it works duing install, showed it to be working. Now when logged in I can hylite text in console mode and it sort of shivers and glitters as well as hylites. But no movement of text from one place to another seems possible. To insert something at the command line, isn't happening. Left click, hylite and copy, right click paste isn't it? Anyway I've tried every combination I could come up with. Went back to the dialog box and verified that the mouse was working several times. Still no copy takes place. -- Harry Putnam reader@newsguy.com Running Redhat Linux-5.1 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
