If you've got FreeBSD 2.2 it by default (right?) loads moused so you have have a mouse cursor in the text-mode console. However, moused swallows all mouse input so your mouse won't be seen by XFree86. BUT, moused takes the mouse input and outputs it again to /dev/mouse using the Mouse Systems protocol. If you've got something previous to FreeBSD 2.2, moused isn't loaded by default and you just tell XFree86 that you've got a PS/2 mouse on /dev/psm0. --Ludwig Pummer ----------------------------------------------------------------- ludwigp@sns.com ICQ UIN: 692441 http://chipweb.home.ml.org http://www.sns.com/~ludwigp <--^-- Updated 04/18/97 PGP Key & Geek Code available on web page
