Hi, My mouse is still not working :( Andrew Boothman wrote: > Do a 'ps ax|grep moused' and see if moused is already running Yes, moused is running. > Then in your X config you should be able to use /dev/sysmouse I already had /dev/sysmouse in my X config, however moused is not working with my mouse, so it doesn't work. I also tried killing moused and changing my X config to use /dev/ums0, but I still couldn't move my cursor.

No, I did not select serial mouse and there is no serial mouse stuff in /etc/rc.conf. As I said above to Adam, usbd_enable="YES" already exists. I have also now tried another USB mouse which I have and that doesn't work. I don't have a PS/2 mouse to test, but if I get my hands on one I will try that as well. Thanks, Shaun Friedle
