heh here I go replying to my self ;-) I fixed it, and for those of you who are wondering how to fix something like this, here's how I did it: for the console, the mouse settings are in /etc/rc.conf Probably the last few lines. Maybe they look like this on your system: moused_port="/dev/psm0" moused_type="mouseman" moused_enable="YES" anyway, I didn't mess with these - I just messed with my XF86Config file. Here's what I did: the section which stated: Option "Protocol" "SysMouse" I changed to: Option "Protocol" "Auto" I tried MouseMan, Microsoft, Logitech, and several others. Only this worked. Hopefully someone else will see this in the archive with the same trouble and solve it!
