<quote> Does the mouse work in the console ("DOS-screen")? xorg usually isn't the problem, it much more often moused which isn't running or badly configured. Try running: moused -t auto -p /dev/psm0 Before starting xorg, see the link I posted earlier. </quote> Alright - I will try this.
<quote> Hi, I have the same problem. If I leave the definitions for the mouse out, X starts without problems and uses the mouse. As long as a mouse definition is given in the configuration file, I cannot use the mouse. </quote> Allright <quote> Note: Please put reply messages at the _bottom_, not at the top. </quote> This is a prefference issue - on most mailing lists I am not they don't care -- is this a fBSD-q rule?
