I noticed a strange behaving of FreeBSD 950726-SNAP and XWindows. Maybe it
is a problem of my hardware but would you mind answering the following
questions.

First the hardware description:

OPTi 486dx4 100Mhz / 16 Megs of RAM and EIDE disk
and 2xRS232 (important information) and BusMouse Card.

First I cannot make BusMouse work under XWindows. It's not seen as a serial
device such as /dev/cuaa[0123]. So i had to take normal mouse and connect it
to serial port /dev/cuua0.

/etc/XF86Config:

Section "Pointer"
    Protocol    "MouseSystems"
    Device      "/dev/cuaa0"
EndSection

In most cases it works fine, but the are the aplications that could not
recognize that i push the button in order to choose some option from pop-up
menu. These are the xapps: Xarchie, Xftp, Zircon and many others. Netscape
works just fine.

Regards and please send me an answer as soon as yuo can.

Jaras
