I thank all of you wholeheartedly. The question is "that" little mouse program or daemonlet that allows you to "block", "cut and paste" from the command line/console TO X-window Gnome session windows is causing my generic style, p/s 2 mouse not to work properly when I start up X. I was flying thru your sysinstall program in the wee hours of the morning loading FreeBSD up, and I don't even remember the "name" of this application or daemonlet that I said "yes" to at a dialogue window. So, who's the program and where does he live? I'd like to turn it off. It is starting up in one of your run-levels somewhere. **whatever it is, it creates a ghostlike "mouse cursor" to show up even when you are working in command line/console mode. ** more remotely, I noticed your device probe calling my generic PS 2 mouse a "glidepoint" on the second psm0:line?? it reads as follows: psm0:

irq 12 on atkbdc0 (thats right) psm0: model Glidepoint mouse, device ID 0 (what in tarnation is that??) hey, if you guys hook me up, I will treat you to a few "pints" of New Belgium whenever you are in the Albuquerque area. I promise. FreeBSD nube, Dru To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
