I would guess you have an incompatibility between your card and X server, or a misconfiguration. Have you had the mouse working correctly under FreeBSD/XWindows before? What video card are you using? What version of FreeBSD? Have you made any non-standard modifications to your /etc/XF86Config file (ie. did you edit the file by hand and change stuff)? Another symptom of this incompatibility may be garbled text. If you open a big text file in an xterm then scroll forward and backward through it a few times, you may start seeing the text "break up" and become unintelligible. If you are not seeing this, it does not mean the problem is not as I am guessing, but if you are, it definitely means an incompatibility. --- Derrick Baumer To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
