Hopefully, you might be willing and/or able to direct me to the correct person(s). I have a technical problem. I am trying to install and use FreeBSD on my i586 Pentium based PC, but I need help figuring out the device name for my PS/2 style mouse. I have it connected to an auxiliary port (this is an IBM PC). I know that in Linux it would be /dev/psaux, but that doesn't seem to hold true for FreeBSD as well. I'm really sorry to bother you. I know the address "hackers@freebsd.org" isn't for technical questions, but I didn't know how to get a hold of anybody else. I am aware that there may or may not be Usenet groups out there for such questions, but as I am as new to Usenet and news readers as I am to FreeBSD, I wouldn't know how to find them. I tried asking the Tech Support people at Walnut Creek for help, but they haven't had any prior experience with a PS/2 style pointing device. Thank you, and I apologize if I have been a bother. --Aaron. ---------------------------------------------- Rusz, Aaron J.
