Hi Jon, > I am attempting to use a Microsoft Intellimouse optical (not very > concerned about all five buttons working or anything like that. Just a > generic mouse would do fine for me right now).

So I know that there is something that I am > missing to get this to work. Any suggestions? I have exactly the same mouse, also with the PS/2 Adapter. I´m running 4.1 Stable and in my configuration I have: /etc/XF86Config: Device "/dev/mouse" /etc/rc.conf: moused_port="/dev/psm0" moused_type="auto" moused_enable="YES" moused_flags="-z 4" The only problem I´m facing until now are sporadic imwheel core dumps (but I also had them with another wheel mouse by Primax). Until now 3 buttons are working, as I read that for 5 buttons you should switch to XFree 4, which I didn´t attack until now.
