I have removed moused_enable="YES" and hald_enable="YES" as well from
/etc/rc.conf.  I get working mouse but cannot switch from firefox to
xterm, I have to quit firefox and then quit xterm and then get back to
firefox.  I want to copy from xterm and paste in browser, I am unable
to switch left and right click on the mouse do not work(respond).  I
used to be able to do this before.  How can I troubleshoot the mouse?
or do I just get a ps2 mouse and use it and see if I can switch
between apps with it?

Thanks 4 helping out,
