Hey guys: This has been quite inconvenient. Can anyone help with this? I have a mousesystems mouse (switchable between Microsoft 2-button & Mouse Systems 3-button protocols--set to Mouse Systems 3-button) on sio1/cuaa1/COM2. In /stand/sysinstall I have so set the mouse. I am running 2.2.5. The mouse, as is, works fine in the same machine in Linux and DOS/Win 3.1. In /etc/XF86Config I have set the pointer information to Protocol "MouseSystems" Device "/dev/sysmouse" In /etc/rc.conf I have set the moused_type="NO" or moused-type="mousesystems" and the next line as moused_port="/dev/cuaa1" or moused_port="/dev/sysmouse" or moused_port="/dev/mouse" [this crashes my system] or moused_port="/dev/sio1" And so on. I have tried other combinations, too, to no avail. I have also tried having nothing between the double quotes, i.e.: moused_port="" Initially, when I installed FreeBSD 2.2.5 the mouse had worked fine, but I had some other problems and reinstalled. From that point the mouse seems dead in FreeBSD. I had the same problem in FreeBSD 2.2.2, and solved it with a complete reinstall of FreeBSD. I would rather not do that. There must be some other file or parameter that I could tweak to fix this. Can someone help? Thanks in advance. Chris Booth ___________________________ cbooth@onyx.interactive.net Christopher J.
