I've had regular (2-button or 3-button) mice that have refused to work using such an adapter; running it through a KVM switch could be enhancing the problem if it works while directly connection. Also, I've heard reports that some (intelligent) mice refuse to work through switchboxes. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
