From one newbie to another &8-), how did you install your FreeBSD? I just went through CDROM installations of 4.0 and 4.5, and each of these had a step to test the mouse. Did you do this, and did it work for you? My computer is an old one with the mouse on what would be 'COM1:', and I had to choose this. Then I chose the mouse type. Finally I started the mouse daemon and verified that the mouse could move. The installation program did not detect the mouse buttons, so I still used keystrokes to comfirm my results and continue the installation. Then I had a chance to refine my mouse setup as part of setting up XFree86. Did you set up XFree86? At that point, the mouse buttons should actually be detected. (Actually the mouse should work on the text screens, too.) Hope that is a little help. - John Mills To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
