You don't= need to run the mouse daemon to get the mouse to work in X. The moused lets you= use the mouse for some simpleton stuff in a console, and you can map it to be /dev/sysmouse for use by X. Which is what you should use if you use moused. But I don't bother with moused, as the capabilities aren't needed by me and it doesn't work with my KVM switch. I used /stand/sysinstall to turn off the mouse daemon and to run XF86Config, where I set the protocol to be= 'auto' and the device to be /dev/psm0 for my PS/ mouse, and all is fine in X. -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) Daemon Dancing in the Dark, a FreeBSD weblog: http://jdarnold.tzo.com/FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
