I would love to provide the output of pkg info | grep 'xf86-input-' , but unfortunately I totally destroyed the vm I was working in. When I first tried to install guest additions from ports, I got an error that said the source code was unavailable. When I got the source through SVN, I messed up and got a different version than the one I was running. I then installed the guest additions, so it appears that this messed things up somehow, unless I made some other error. I followed Colin House's suggestion to buildworld & buildkernel, following the instructions in the handbook, but somehow messed everything up; after that the VM wouldn't boot at all, so I decided to just start over. Thanks for the help, in any case; I haven't had a chance to get the new vm up and running, but if I have the same problem I'll be back! John
