A search for "trackball X configuration" will probably turn up the correct line for you to put in your xconf. If you haven't got a /etc/X11/xorg.conf then the handbook tells you how to create one: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html Regards, -- Frank Contact info: http://www.shute.org.uk/misc/contact.html
