ps2 optical wheel mouse problems
Hello all., I recently installed freeBSD 5.2 and have a problem. I have most everything working corectly except the mouse. I set it to auto and it detects the mouse but it jumps all over the screen. It's a prety standard optical wheel mouse that seems to work fine under 4.8 and under all distros of linux I've used so far. I've tried every configuration I can think of under the sun. Does anyone have any recomendations? thnx -- Jerry M.

Does anyone have any recomendations? Hi, There are two main ways of setting up the mouse. The first is to go only with the X config and the second is to rely on the consile setup. If you didn't use the second option, then please read the FAQ on the website. Could you please tell use wich option you used? It would also be a handy to have the configuration files or those parts there of that are relevant. First I used /stand/sysinstall and selected the auto selecton. It detected the mouse but started jumping. After that I decided to select auto from the xf86config script, when that didn't work I tried sysmouse but got no beter response. One thing I did notice one thing. If I hook up a normal ps2 mouse and enable the mouse it works fine, even when I swap out the normal mouse for the optical but when I reboot if I have the optical mouse atached it goes back to jumping around. Realy weard. -- Jerry M. Howell II ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It appears to cause problems on linux 2.4.x kernels but not older kernels due to the way the compiler works. Does anyone know if this problem is exploitable on freebsd? If not, where should I ask this question? I'd look for a better alternative for a ftp server anyways. WU is potmarked with tons of security flaws. It can be locked prety tight if you know what your doing but there are beter alternatives. Many ppl have substituted proftp in it's place and pureftp is starting to gain popularity -- Jerry M.

Took less than 5 minutes and worked perfectly both times. IE up-and-running in no time. The procedure to install the printer in FBSD/Linux is: 1) Install hpijs 2) Install ghostscript-gnu 3) Install foomatic-db 4) Download foomatic-rip and install into /usr/local/bin 5) Install cups 6) Download DeskJet 6122 PPD from linuxprinting.org: http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet_6122 7) Install as deskjet3.ppd in /usr/local/share/cups/model 8) Use CUP's administration tool on localhost:631 to modify the printer, selecting the HP DeskJet 6122, Foomatic + hpijs (recommended) driver. 9) Use CUP's administration tool on localhost:631 to configure the printer, turning on double-sided printing. OK. I hate Windoze with a passion and I'd prefer a plain text script rather than a secret wizard, but which install is most suitable for Joe User? What could/should we do about it? I aggree that seting up a printer can be a real bastard in freeBSD and so can some other stuff but the big question here is will joe user be the one most likely to use freeBSD, most likely if he goes anti-windows he'll go to something like mandrake wich does recognize most of these printers right from the get go. I think this all about the control and tweeking you can do. Not exactly sure as my printer died and I'm useing my wifes windows MFC machine for now. -- Jerry M.
