Note that the NEW moused won't work with the OLD kernel. To summerize: 1. If you have rebuilt the kernel, but haven't made world, your system should continue working as before. 2. If you have done `make world' first, then you must rebuild the kernel AFTER `make world'. 3. If you have rebuilt the kernel first, but haven't made world, mouse stuff will NOT work. Rebuild the kernel AFTER `make world'. Thank you. Kazu
