 Good, let's see if you can kick me out from my mess ;-/
 
 My basic purpose is to give my children a so much nice place on their 
 pc than my one on my mac.
 Instead of their win98 ..

 So  I rode lots of docs about freebsd (specialy handbook, faq, 
 beginners), downloaded iso images of the 5.1release and started the 
 install from cd.
 Everythings were almost nice the first time (with learning, reading, 
 understanding behind) so far I tried to add wheel mouse to my 
 configuration.
 It was a bad idea because the next time I started freebsd my rc.conf 
 had a bad character (eof instead of backquote or whatever) on the 1456 
 th line (of a 1455 lines file). 

?? 1455 lines - just curios - what did you put in there ?
my desktop:
it# wc -l /etc/rc.conf
  21 /etc/rc.conf

my router:
buh# wc -l /etc/rc.conf
  32 /etc/rc.conf

 Maybee because I made change with 
 abiword ...
 Before that time I had been able to set up a good configuration for my 
 ps2 mouse and it worked fine inside kde and even in console mode.
 
 Unable to make a new rc.conf from the bad one I made a new install of 
 freebsd but probably not the good one as my kde taskbar don't have 
 anymore direct to shell button. (I will have a look at that later).

Alt+F2 -- konsole -- OK

 The main trouble I have now is to stop stupid behavior of my mouse : as 
 soon I move it too fast or move a couple pixels to left it refuges 
 itself on left edge of the screen. Tried to control that from kde but 
 did not get any amelioration. Kde mouse is set to sysmouse so I would 
 like to get a correct mouse behavior from sysinstall test mouse dialog.
 The best thing I can get now is with Microsoft IntelliMouse but pointer 
 still go as quick as possible to left side of the screen, whichever 
 protocol I use.
 
 I tried many ways to come back the first time I setted, tried to 
 remember the good words to ask google but at least get exausted : how 
 to configure freebsd mouse focus (to the macos one) in console mode ?
 
 auto give me the worse : each move of the mouse act as accept (or 
 refuse ?) sysinstall dialog Is the mouse cursor moving

Please send the output of:
it# dmesg | grep ps2
or
it# cat /var/run/dmesg.boot | grep psm

man moused will give you some hints.
Especilly:
-d  Enable debugging messages.

-f  Do not become a daemon and instead run as a foreground process. 
   Useful for testing and debugging.

-i info  Print specified information and quit.

PS2 Mouse Problems And ACPI?? Are They Related?

2003-10-24 Thread Brian Black
hi
  OS: 5.1R
  Mouse: Logitech optical wireless (the one with the rechargeable base 
station and like 7 buttons)
  *(This Mouse Is a usb mouse but i have a usb2ps2 connector that i have.)*
 After my install finished (gone well and returned no errors, but i did not 
set up the mouse yet).  So i am going to try to configure the ps2 mouse 
port.
  device  /dev/psm0
  port auto
  flags -z 4
After this i usually reboot the machine,(need to learn how to stop and start 
the moused from the command line ).  Now weather i set the mouse up this way 
or using /stand/sysinstall, i get the same effect.  If i move the mouse 
around in console mode i notice that it disappears while i am moving it and 
then reappears in its new position when i stop moving it.  So when i startx 
i cannot follow where my mouse is at because of the blinking problem.  This 
really [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Now i notice if i disable acpi at startup the mouse works correctly in the 
console mode, but i loose the ability to use my usb ports(figures), and when 
i try to startx with acpi disabled my mouse is stuck in the top right corner 
jumping around.

Finally I try to use the mouse in the usb port, so i configure the mouse 
such as (rc.conf)
  usb_enable=YES
  moused_port=/dev/ums0  //This Number Came From dmesg.
  moused_type=auto
  moused_enable=YES
after a reboot i can c my mouse in console mode and it moves around, but an 
error occured during init of the rc.config file that reads something like 
cant open /dev/ums0, device busy.  X will not run returns with an error 
something like no core pointer available.

So I have no mouse available in new 5.x series.  I have no idea how to fix 
this, any advice would help out thanx.

  bj

 On PS/2 it's working OK without ACPI.


I've just updated my BIOS to 7VT600F.F4
(The MB is a Gigabyte GA-7VT600) and the mouse is working with ACPI
enabled.

Problems with ACPI And My PS2 Mouse!!

2003-08-18 Thread Brian Black
hey,
   I recently installed 5.1R and after boot up, with acpi enabled, my 
mouse begins to work incorrectly.  when i move the mouse it disappears 
and reappears elsewhere when i stop..  Whats Wrong???  When i disable 
acpi from boot up the problems goes away??  But i cant disable this 
because i need to make use of my usb ports??  I have a Soyo KT333 dragon 
lite motherboard if that helps.  i guess from what i hear that the 
problem might be with the board( I hope not because it cost a lot of 
money ;-)) .   Could someone shed some light on this problem for me.   TIA

Hi, I was trying the FreeBSD 5.0 and the installation was perfect, but,
 when I tried to run the Gnome, my mouse didn't work. Here is the
 configuration of my machine:
 Intel Pentium 4 - 1.6 GHz / 256 MB RAM / HD: 20 GB. The motherboard is a
 Intel 845HV, so, I don't know if there is a problem to work with this
 Motherboard. I tried to use a serial mouse but the problem was the same. I
 used the sysinstall to configure it. Is there another form to work with
this
 machine?

Try running xf86config. This is what I used to configure my mouse for X.
