In qemu I'm running FreeBSD-10.1 (x86_64) to test how my texlive
test scripts work there (blame systemd - the more it concentrates on
"only linux", the more I'm interested in what might be similar
systems). Unfortunately, although I've installed xfce, Xorg, and
texlive via the binary 'pkg' system [ to my surprise, xfce did not
pull in all of Xorg, in particular I did not have 'startx' ], I
cannot get a working mouse on the desktop. That somewhat limits my
attempts to read the PDFs I've created, except by scp'ing them back
to a linux system.
So far, I've added hal (!) to the things which get started (that is
_so_ old), as well as dbus, and installed vmmouse - but none of that
has made the slightest difference, in qemu's desktop only the
keyboard works. Unfortunately, my google foo for this is poor, all
I can find are links for running qemu _on_ FreeBSD. Any suggestions,
please ?
Can you get gpm to work from a terminal? In Linux, you have to enable
the right drivers (e.g. CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE) for Xorg in the kernel. I
have no idea how to check that in FreeBSD.
