I figured people would look at my other email so I didn't include any details here, but this is just a simple MS Mouse (not USB - although that one does not work either). My keyboard being toast was a problem on it's own and doesn't appear to have had anything to do with the mouse problem. > -----Original Message----- > From: Nick Lozinsky [mailto:nl3481@wi.rr.com] > Sent: April 8, 2002 12:12 PM > To: Beauford; FreeBSD > Subject: Re: Mouse Problems > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Beauford" <beauford.2002@rogers.com> > To: "FreeBSD" <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> > Sent: Monday, April 08, 2002 5:03 PM > Subject: Mouse Problems > > > > I posted a question earlier regarding mouse problems, and > concluded it > > was my keyboard that was the problem.
