Also I think you can even setup X to use the extra keys...once again hit google up for it. -Alastair ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can use PS/2-to-USB converters; they cost 15 Euros around here. I'm using one of those to connect my good old Logitech TrackMan Marble FX (which only existed in PS/2 and serial versions) to my USB-only notebook.
