I was using vmware without trouble for the past year+. I recently upgraded my X server to 4.1.0 and think that this might be related. I also converted my mouse to a USB mouse. Which version of XFree86 are you running? -matthew I think I heard Jason Vervlied say: >Okay, > > Here is the problem I am having. I am running FreeBSD-4.3.
