hello
Just a quick question - I scanned the faq and I understand that FreeBSD only
supports Logitech and ATI mice - just curious as to why there is no support for
the ubiquitous Microsoft Mouse and its kind.
I have seen references to the PS/2 type mouse driver package - is there
something similar for the little serial rodent and would it make it possible to
use them (in 3 button emulator mode) for XFree86?

Thanks
Neil
