A really quick fix (for the mouse) is call up sysinstall and go to Configure, then Mouse. 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. -- Best regards, Chris Fingerprint: 4201 94F9 E77F 9357 F3F3 56B7 8D20 ECC7 1AB5 FEF8
