A really quick fix (for the mouse) is call up sysinstall and go to Configure, then Mouse.=20 Choose Number 3 (Type) then config from there OR go right to Number 2 (Enable) Once you have the rodent configed via sysinstall, that ought to plop the needed lines in /etc/rc.conf (your mileage may vary, standard disclaimers apply). This is just one way of trying it - you could run the Xorg config utils, or if you are brave, edit the Xorg conf file by hand.=20 --=20 Best regards, Chris Fingerprint: 4201 94F9 E77F 9357 F3F3 56B7 8D20 ECC7 1AB5 FEF8 --Sig_/varbjlfpdkDRUUA1uj_kHU6 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHznmfjSDsxxq1/vgRAnIBAKCTXwT6V7jGwdU8vnPr/lq8uDTPAACgn6tv fnqtdkgLGKYvBCCoCSe5t10= =RYTk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/varbjlfpdkDRUUA1uj_kHU6--
