I tried out a GE Optical Mouse (PS2 connection)due to that fact that it stated that it didn't require a Windows system for basic operation. I attempted to use the automatic mouse function in XFree864.0 and it won't recognize the mouse at all. It will move slightly when set to Microsoft Optical mouse, meaning just a little bit on the right hand side, but it won't cross the screen, nor will it recognize any of the buttons. Has anyone managed to get an optical mouse (hopefully a GE Optical mouse) to work with FreeBSD ? - Dave - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
