I already found the reason for the mouse problem: device ums is missing in your GENERIC.

That would be possible although I am quite happy with the 686-smp. Also a wikipage documenting the Differences between Debian-GENERIC and FreeBSD-GENERIC, would be great. There seem to be quite some differences (removal of non-free drivers, addition of ALTQ). On a side-note: Have you thought about switching to SCHED_ULE? At least for SMP that should bring significant performance-improvements. Greetings Hannes -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
