Hardware and Software: Logitech USB cordless mouse M/N:M-RN67 P/N:851390-0000 w/ ps/2 adapter Auravision slimseries ps/2 keyboard /w wire a starband kvm switch, 4 port PS/2 for both keyboard and mouse w/ extern power source. FreeBSD 5.3 stable cpu=2.8 cel Using the ps/2 adapter with my mouse, was required to use the kvm. dmesg reports this for my mouse by default: psm0: flags 0x24 irq 12 on atkbdc0 psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED] psm0: model IntelliMouse Explorer, device ID 4 the mouse will not work. appending: hint.psm.0.flags="0x204" to /boot/device.hints I now get this via dmesg: psm0: flags 0x204 irq 12 on atkbdc0 psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED] psm0: model Generic PS/2 mouse, device ID 0 I then edited /etc/rc.conf and disabled my console mouse (moused) (which I would prefere worked) moused_enable="NO" I then edit the pointer section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf to: Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "Auto" Option "Device" "/dev/bpsm0" notice that is the "b" psm device that i am using which is for blocking mode or bpsm At any rate, the mouse now works in X, through the kvm, and through usb to ps/2 adapter. I hope this helps someone else :) YMMV, Eric
