It might be worth double-checking you've got all the numbers straight - I have the same arrangement, but with the ports reversed. Also, remember that COM1 is /dev/cuaa0 on FreeBSD! Anyway, if the mouse is on COM2, you should have an entry in /etc/XF86Config like this:- Section "Pointer" Protocol "Microsoft" Device "/dev/cuaa1" Emulate3Buttons EndSection And the first thing you should do in PPP (I assume you're using user-mode PPP to dial out?) is set device /dev/cuaa0 (for a modem on COM1) -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland jraynard@dial.pipex.com james@jraynard.demon.co.uk
