The mouse addon polls to find whether or not moused has a given mouse device open. If it does, it sets the input device to be /dev/sysmouse instead of the actual device. Hopefully it will fix the problem without needing to disable hal support in X. I have also merged your gettimeofday patches, jkim. http://www.marcuscom.com/downloads/hal.diff Joe -- Joe Marcus Clarke FreeBSD GNOME Team :: gnome@FreeBSD.org FreeNode / #freebsd-gnome http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAkfrNe0ACgkQb2iPiv4Uz4cytQCcCcUmZ3t9noXXJIREGHZeAxdj rM4AnjmxFa7PvnrNYBRXw/8E3UsxaUBP =HyjO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
