PS/2) mouse, right? No easy fix then. It loses power while switching, and after reconnecting, it comes up with the default values. (Apparently, the BIOS has adjusted a higher rate previously.) It might perhaps possible to get an indication of the reconnect, and re-initialize the mouse to the desired values, but AFAIK, there are no provisions for it in FreeBSD. I prefer ethernet over switchboxes. :-) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
