The mouse gets detected and listed at boot time. However, I don't think I am getting data out of the mouse port. I beleive in the past I have checked with #cat /dev/ums0 and if things are working corectly, cat display binary garbage on the screen when you wiggle the mouse. Try this after killing moused (moused makes ums0 unavailable). Chris Manesshome | help
