That worked fine. The problem must be the KVM, as I suspected. Knowing that, I reconnected the mouse to the KVM, switched to Windows and back to FBSD, same problem. > Check out the man page for moused for further help with > mousercizing and > various options.

No reset button. > Don't know if it will do what you want but check out 'man > cut' and 'man > paste' No joy, cut is for retrieving fields and characters from a file, paste is for inserting text from a file to a file or to the console.
