If you want to run the mouse with console support, setup your XF86Config with Device /dev/sysmouse Protocol Auto I'm using a Logitech 4 button version, and had problems because of my config until I set it up this way (running on the console and under XFree86). Try that out. I have my mouse get initialized under the /etc/usdb.conf (& /etc/rc.conf), used vidcontrol -m on to run on the console, and haven't had problems since. I have noticed, though, that the entry that /etc/defaults/rc.conf mentioned for vidcontrol didn't seem to work when I put them in /etc/rc.conf. Jon Nick Popoff wrote: > > Howdy.
