I have moved my receiver so close to the mouse that its hard to not bump them, but the mouse still doesn't work. What I have noticed since I sent my original message, is that /dev/sysmouse exists even when only the non-working mouse is connected nto the system. Does this mean that FreeBSD /is/ detecting the mouse (and hence that I should be looking somewhere else than this list for the problem), or does that file simply always exist? -- Lennon Victor Cook "He who receives an idea from me receives without lessening, as he who lights his candle at mine receives light without darkening" - Thomas Jefferson
