In order to test the mouse, you would have to run it using the *real* port of /dev/psm0. 4.02 of X *broke* the mouse, so I kind of doubt that your were actually running 4.02. Or maybe sometime in the last month the port changed? I know that when I upgraded from 4.01 to 4.02 the mouse stuff broke completely. What were you using in your X config file? There is no way to diagnose your problem without that information. /Joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
