Note: Please put reply messages at the _bottom_, not at the top. Thank you. Erich, what is your mouse configuration? Also try and locate the problem in /var/log/Xorg.0.log This is a generic configuration: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "Auto" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Buttons" "5" EndSection You may need to change the "Indentifier" line, see your ServerLayout. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
