<para>FreeBSD supports a variety of different mice via the PS/2, serial
|
||||
and USB ports. Most users choose to use the mouse daemon to handle
|
||||
their mouse because it allows interaction in both X and on the system
|
||||
console. For more information on the mouse daemon refer to
|
||||
&man.moused.8;. The examples throughout this section assume that
|

the mouse daemon is being used.</para>
