Hi Joe, I got the mouse functionality working now. I should say that I was a bit surprised to see that all that was missing from /etc/rc.conf was the moused_flags line. Here's what it looks like now: moused_enable="YES" moused_flags="-3" <------ The only line I wrote in moused_port="/dev/psm0" moused_type="auto" Also, I was unable to run the moused cmd at once. I got a "device busy" error. What I did was ran a kill on the pid for the existing mouse process, then started moused with the required switches. Hope that was okay, and that the above lines in /etc/rc.conf proves to be sufficient. Thanks again for your assistance.
