Thanks Stephanie, but unfortunately that didn't help here. I have
moved my receiver so close to the mouse that its hard to not bump
them, but the mouse still doesn't work.

What I have noticed since I sent my original message, is that
/dev/sysmouse exists even when only the non-working mouse is connected
nto the system. Does this mean that FreeBSD /is/ detecting the mouse
(and hence that I should be looking somewhere else than this list for
the problem), or does that file simply always exist?
