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.
