[-- Attachment #1 --] 1) Where do I find inforation about current drivers? a) I have an Intellipoint Optical USB mouse - PS/2 compatible. I can not get the mouse daemon or X to initialize the mouse. FreeBSD recocnizes the USB mouse during installation, but I can not configure it. b) I have a 3dfx VooDoo5 5500 PCI graphics card - the only driver listed is a VooDoo3 (generic). 2) How do I tell the OS where to look for the drivers once their located, and how do I update the drivers? These are probably very stupid questions, but the greatest amount of success I've experience to date is the ls command (definately a newbie). Thanks, ShawnGet more from the Web.
