Any help would be appreciated? > > http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/hardware.html#MOUSED What kind of mouse do you have? If it is a serial mouse, chances are you want: moused -p /dev/cuaa0 If it is a PS/2 mouse: moused -p /dev/psm0 If it is a USB mouse: moused -p /dev/ums0 You don't normally need to specify a type. Automatic detection works better than anything else most of the time. Just make sure you specify the correct port, as above. If that doesn't work, send us some more detailed information about your setup, including dmesg output, mouse brand/type, what you've tried, and specifically what is not working, including any error messages you receive. Simply saying "it doesn't work" is not typically the path to a quick resolution. :-) - Ryan -- Ryan Thompson Network Administrator, Accounts SaskNow Technologies - http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E - Saskatoon, SK - S7H 0W2 Tel: 306-664-3600 Fax: 306-664-1161 Saskatoon Toll-Free: 877-727-5669 (877-SASKNOW) North America To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
