You can either edit the file manually, or go through all the steps by rerunning the xf86config program. Second, use the moused daemon, enable it in /etc/rc.conf. See /etc/rc and /etc/defaults/rc.conf for more info. Ernst Johannes Zwart wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I have the following problem: > I recently helped one of my family relatives to buy a new computer.
