Any ideas? > Mike Sounds like you are using /dev/psm0 as your mouse device in your XF86Config rather than /dev/sysmouse (which is what you need to use if you are running moused for exactly this reason). You may also have to check the protocol if this is the case when you change it as /dev/sysmouse uses the SysMouse protocol (or MouseMan if memory serves me). -- Greg Lewis glewis@trc.adelaide.edu.au Computing Officer +61 8 8303 3237 Teletraffic Research Centre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
