Subject: mknod /dev/psm0 c 21 1 root:wheel (fails..) Hello,
I've been trying to figure out "what" creates /dev/psm0 on FreeBSD-5.2.1 for I'm stuck with a new Dell-Inspiron-5150 where FreeBSD cannot see the standard mouse. As I stated in my last email, Linux and Windows-XP has not displayed this problem. Sooo, I took a look on my other FreeBSD-5.2.1 laptop, a Fujitsu and saw that the files that are missing are on this laptop so I read the manpage for "mknod" and ran the following commands in hope of creating /dev/psm0 I used the same major:minor numbers from my laptop and got the following error. #> mknod /dev/psm0 c 21 1 root:wheel And here was the error I got. #> mknod: /dev/psm0: No such file or directory Well depite messing with this for quite some time I still had enought humor left to say outloud...... NO KIDDING.. Soooo, I'm now wondering what does create /dev/psm0 and what does it take from the keyboard to create devices such as /dev/psm0 and /dev/mouse etc. The mouse is NOT detected via sysinstall and I noticed in the "mouse" setup options there was also an option that mentioned a non-existant device file, that was /dev/mse0 Thanks for any help on this. :) -- Bill Schoolcraft PO Box 210076 -o) San Francisco CA 94121 /\ "UNIX, A Way Of Life." _\_v http://billschoolcraft.com _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
