upgraded to 8, no mouse is broken

2009-12-10 Thread mpd
I just updated my system from 7.2 to 8.0 STABLE. What do I need to do to make my mouse work in X again? This system has an unbroken chain of fbsd since 2.2.6, but I'm about to drop it due to this. This is horrible. Please respond directly. I dropped this list in the '90s. peace, -mpd
