Well, I can't see how I have misconfigured it.... : If you get any replies by email, could you foeward'em to me please ? : Geoff. /dev/cuaa0 is the device name for sio0 device, if you are running 2.05R. On 2.0R it was /dev/cua00. This all assumes that you both have serial mice. You can try to cat from /dev/cua?? and see if you get something on screen. Keep changing cua numbers until you do :) (this does not work for bus(ps/2?) mice.) 2.0R's tty00 became ttyd0 on 2.05R. You can use them as well, but they are really meant to be used for getty's, and not for callout. If this all works okay for you, remember to turn off NumLock, or to uncomment ServerNumLock line in XF86Config. Otherwise you may not be able to select menus on some misconfigured X applications. /Alby
