I can't speak for previous versions and 6.0-R is the first I've personally used on SPARC64. It also is possible that it's in a different set (I always manually pick and install pretty much everything except for 'info' and 'games' ;-)) but if that is the case, it seems a bit silly. But yeah, the info the OP needs is definitly in our list archives - still not sure why he would've only searched for "sunmouse" (Linux has a /dev/sunmouse, but that's the only time I can ever remember seeing that particular name). To address the suggestion of "simply having the installed Xorg contain a working config file" - if you follow the FreeBSD handbook, you will end up having Xorg generate a config based on what it thinks exists, and modify that to fix anything it got wrong or whatever. I'm not sure how well that does with the keyboard/mouse stuff on FreeBSD/SPARC64. Regardless, even if it generates total crud output, it's an Xorg problem and not a FreeBSD problem. :-) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
