You might want to edit the > /etc/rc.conf and put moused_enable="NO" in there. moused and X should work ok together. You need to get the Pointer section right in XF86Config though. You should use: Protocol "Auto" (or "MouseSystems" if Auto isn't working) Device "/dev/sysmouse" what moused is doing is reading from /dev/cuaa0 and passing on the input to applications like X through /dev/sysmouse. This should let you use the mouse in X or on the console (if you turn it on with "vidcontrol -m on" on the console). -- Kevin Street street@iName.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
