I keep using root root but i think it's wrong. >Thanks in advance... e-mail me: foad@phantom.com Check /etc/XF86Config for Section "Mouse", edit /dev/xxx to /dev/cuaa0 for com1 or /dev/cuaa1 for com2. Also, for user other than root, make sure the devices are readable. It may be 660, try 664 or 666. Good luck Daniel Qiao
