If I recall correctly, there is a "sysmouse" option for X, which is required to be used if you run moused. The Fine Manual, or at least the sysinstall dialogs, mention this when they ask you if you want to install moused. It may also be in the moused man page, but I don't have access to my freebsd system right now to check for sure. mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
