A wireless keyboard/mouse that transmits to a USB device. The Windows systems activates virtually instantaneously; however, the FreeBSD system hangs for five seconds or more before it becomes responsive. Other than that, I have not noticed any problems (yet). Both HAL and DBUS are activated via the rc.conf file and I have not made any special modifications to the system config files. -- Jerry ✌ jerry+fbsd@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or ignored.
