Great tip. I had no idea those drivers were there. I will check them and if I need more help I'll ask one of the groups you mentioned.

Apparently this laptop uses an internal USB digitizer. Any idea where to begin? Should X.org just find it automatically? Do I need to create a unique USB mouse driver and hook it into the kernel? It works, at least minimally, under Ubuntu, but I know even less about Linux than FreeBSD and was never able to track down how they did it. Check the xorg log on Linux to see what driver is being used for the digitizer. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
