To activate moused for a Sun type5 setup, you'll almost certainly want the command `moused -t mousesystems -p /dev/cuau3`. This will allow you to have Xorg access the mouse via /dev/sysmouse, as well as providing mouse functionality on a syscons console. So yes, the mouse does in fact work on the console with FreeBSD 6.0 on sparc64. :-) The LED problem is a known issue, and I have a GNATS ticket open on it, you can check out the FreeBSD bug tracking system and see if you maybe have anything to add to the information I've already provided in that ticket to assist the kernel dev folks in identifying and addressing the lock key LED problem. However, as all the toggles still work just fine, I marked the ticket as non-critical. __________________________________________ Yahoo! DSL – Something to write home about.
