After trying lots of things (including a bios flash update, which was an anticlimax, given the dire warnings Intel gave) it turns out that if I set the bios PnP configuration to use the Win95 ICU, the mouse works in FreeBSD.

The FreeBSD PnP stuff seems to work as advertized, though. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Withrow, Tel: +1 617 592 8935, Net: witr@rwwa.COM
