Ppplllplplppplplp! Yeah, I've got a Intellimouse Explorer with the tilt wheel and it doesn't work correctly with USB so I just use the PS/2 adapter. I'm not sure if it's our usb code, or the mouse is slightly non standard, but I made a small hack to get it working, but the mouse then is unreliable and misses clicks. I'm working on a NetBSD import of the USB code, but it'll be a while and I don't know if it will even fix this. - -- Anish Mistry -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBMhIoxqA5ziudZT0RArG3AKCxyZGA26/04unhZ9Fvdp8L1fvQ9wCgtWvp hnqUM30DQKRCZq60GJLQzxM= =ln58 -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Microsoft Cordless Optical Mouse and 5.2
Are you running the GENERIC kernel? If not then have you compiled in support for ps2 mouse? And Last but not the least, try selecting ur mouse (or its closest clone) byt running /stand/sysinstall. I wont rely on auto for MS products (both hw and sw). Regards S. On Sat, 28 Aug 2004 13:49:57 -0700 (PDT), Peter Leftwich [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Doh!
