That should have been the correct setting. On version 7, I have /dev/cuad0, /dev/cuad0.init and /dev/cuad0.lock. On version 8, there's /dev/cuau0, /dev/cuau0.init and /dev/cuau0.lock instead. Maybe loading a kernel module is required to have the serial ports available again? > /dev does have cuau0 & cuau1 for uucp dialer. could this be the names of > the serial ports in 8.0? It seems that they don't work for the mouse because they're something different. I think there's another problem rising: Assume you want to have a serial dialin line (e. g. for a serial terminal), then you would have something like ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" vt320 on secure in /etc/ttys. The question would be: If /dev/ttyd0 does not exist anymore, how to make this work again? -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
