No, /dev/tty00 is actually the first serial port. You're correct in assuming that you need to recompile your kernel with the mse device. See /sys/i386/conf/LINT for an option line. See also section 6.0 in the latest copy of the FreeBSD FAQ (ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/share/FAQ/FreeBSD.FAQ) as I have, coincidently, just added an entry on kernel configuration. > Is this a simple case of h/w conflict that doesn't show > up under dos/windows? No, it's just that Microsoft Windows has a bus mouse driver and FreeBSD doesn't have one compiled in yet. It's not often used enough to be a default, I guess! Jordan
