hello

I had the options you mentioned set. the system doesn't detect anything after the system started up. I tried the mice also on my desktop-pc (also running FreeBSD 4.7) there it is immediately detected when plugged in and a message is printed to the screen (as it should be). on the notebook nothing happens when I plug in the mice :( I compared the configuration files, kernel and rc.conf are almost the same... 
any ideas?

greetings
Christoph
