You can use "moused -d -f <other options>" for testing. Basically, you need to specify _type for non-"normal" mice, and maybe even _flags to make them work as intended. Here's an example: moused_enable="YES" moused_port="/dev/cuaa0" moused_type="mousesystems" moused_flags="-r 300 -a 2.0 -z 4" Is is for a "MouseSystems" serial mouse with the additional feature of emulating the wheel with the middle mouse button. Nothing of this "strange stuff" should be needed for USB mice, as they are typically detected and configured automatically by devd or devfs, which invokes moused with the required options (if any). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
