Thanks in advance. >Tony did you make sure your XFree86 config file is pointing to the right place for your mouse? I don't have an Aptiva, but I have several FreeBSD boxes with PS/2 mouse ports. You need to compile the kernel with psm0 (check in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT for an example). Also, /etc/XF86Config should refer to /dev/psm0 for the pointer or it should refer to /dev/mouse if you have made a symbolic link to /dev/psm0 -- Bruce Olsen bolsen@seanet.com DUO Systems All standard disclaimers apply.
