Yes, you should have done that before you sent your first email :). Now that we are all wasting bandwidth, I don't think your computer can tell the difference between a wireless and a normal mouse. I have Microsoft opticals on two that work on the ps/2 port and one that is hooked up to the usb port. The roller scrolls through text on all of them. You have to setup your mouse in XF86Config to do that. Having purchased several optical mice I will probably replace the remaining one that has a ball. The new one will be wireless. A wireless keyboard/mouse combo was going to be my Christmas purchase but they were all sold out. I bought a Soundblaster Audigy instead. MP3 conversions of my audio CDs using digital extraction sound cleaner than wav's from the analog side. The wireless mouse would have been better. I needed 6 hours of parallel processing to reconvert my Spanish audio CDs.

I have that set up now and it works for the logitech mouse, but the wireless mouse just won't work. When I try the frequency change button on the base unit it locks up X. I unplug the wireless, plug in the logitech and it works fine. Plug in the wireless and nothing, a cursor that doesn't move. In the terminal plugging in and unplugging the wireless shows the appropriate usb connection information. -- Chip > Bye, > > Gernot > > > -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- > > Von: chip wiegand [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Gesendet: Donnerstag, 26.

Re: AW: wireless optical mouse useable in freebsd?
I had my wheel working in 4.6, but it's not working in 4.7. I haven't tried to fix it. This info in the faq's might help you, though. http://www2.pl.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/book.html#X-AND-WHEEL On Wed, 25 Dec 2002, chip wiegand wrote: > On Wed, 25 Dec 2002 22:38:53 +0100 > "Gernot A.

Re: wireless optical mouse useable in freebsd?
My wireless optical mouse works, but it's not made my microsoft. Don't know if it makes a difference, but you could just try it and see if it works.

wireless optical mouse useable in freebsd?
I just received this micro$oft wireless optical mouse for christmas from my son, and am wondering if anyone knows if it will work in freebsd 4.7? I haven't tried it yet. It is both usb and ps2.
