BSDfan666, I'm sorry. I was not complaining for the help you provided, but I shouldn't been complaining about FreeBSD documentation that badly. There are fourty-years worth of technical issues on the net with many solutions. But some are near to impossible to find so I talk just to keep from giving up. I crack jokes so others can laugh and maybe come back latter to see what I'm taking about. I know that people got things to do .

Anyway a old thread came to mind that said " This is FreeBSD, it can configure anything to work" ... right than I thought, if PS2 is not working for this MB, lets search USB possibilities ... than found these and still at it. It took a looong time for the light blub to turn on this round:

http://www.freebsddiary.org/usb-mouse.php

Now I got the USB mouse running in the terminal, but not cut-and-paste. Both threads seem to be out dated because there is no /etc/usbd.conf anymore. Another link say use /etc/devd.conf ... but these lines are not in there and I'm afraid to try just anything because I might mess up my install. Any ideas?

Code:
attach "/usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/${DEVNAME} -I
/var/run/moused.${DEVNAME}.pid"

attach "/usr/sbin/moused -m 2=3 -p /dev/${DEVNAME} -I
/var/run/moused.${DEVNAME}.pid"
...
