Hello Family, I have a new Dell Inspiron 5150 and it's a company issue and I immediately took it and triple booted it with Linux and FreeBSD-5.2.1 and the default XP. I had to download the Nvidia drivers for both Linux and FreeBSD and the X displays are GREAT except for one thing. Linux has a mouse in X FreeBSD has no mouse PERIOD. It is not detected in "sysinstall" and when I fire up X the mouse cursor stays frozen in the middle of the screen. I did notice that there was NO /dev/psm* and was wondering if there is any way of fixing this. The ridicule from the Linux folks at work is getting a bit old. :( Thanks for any consideration in helping me with this. -- Bill Schoolcraft PO Box 210076 San Francisco CA 94121 http://billschoolcraft.com
