During the mouse device configuration of the installation process, all I had to do was indicate that the system has a serial mouse, and then activate it. I learned this the hard way during a previous installation when I indicated that I did not have a serial mouse, and the system failed to recognize the touchpad. Individual modules/functions of sysinstall can be run post-installation. As root, execute 'sysinstall', select Index, and then look for the module for mouse configuration. I hope this helps.

Right now it's just running as a normal mouse, it looks like the support is disabled by default. In isa/psm.c, I can see the synaptics support in there, but it's disabled unless hw.psm.synaptics_support is set to 1. My question is how do I set it to one? It's setup as a TUNABLE_INT, but there is no sysctl for it. Does it only appear on boot? It is not a sysctl, it is a kernel tunable. You control it from the boot loader, for example by putting hw.psm.synaptics_support=1 into /boot/loader.conf. See loader.conf(5) and /boot/defaults/loader.conf for more information. $.02, /Mikko ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That's what I was wondering and I tried to set it in the loader, but I haven't noticed a difference. No added sysctls to tune the touchpad, no kernel messages showing anything obvious, the touchpad still acts the same, etc. Also, I looked through the kernel sources for other TUNABLE_INT's: ... /usr/src/sys/cam/scsi/scsi_all.c: TUNABLE_INT_FETCH(kern.cam.scsi_delay, delay); /usr/src/sys/cam/scsi/scsi_cd.c:TUNABLE_INT(kern.cam.cd.changer.min_busy_seconds, changer_min_busy_seconds); /usr/src/sys/cam/scsi/scsi_cd.c:TUNABLE_INT(kern.cam.cd.changer.max_busy_seconds, changer_max_busy_seconds); /usr/src/sys/cam/scsi/scsi_cd.c:TUNABLE_INT_FETCH(tmpstr, softc-minimum_command_size); /usr/src/sys/cam/scsi/scsi_da.c:TUNABLE_INT(kern.cam.da.retry_count, da_retry_count); /usr/src/sys/cam/scsi/scsi_da.c:TUNABLE_INT(kern.cam.da.default_timeout, da_default_timeout); /usr/src/sys/cam/scsi/scsi_da.c:TUNABLE_INT_FETCH(tmpstr, softc-minimum_cmd_size); ... sysctls -a|grep cam: kern.cam.scsi_delay: 15000 kern.cam.cd.changer.min_busy_seconds: 5 kern.cam.cd.changer.max_busy_seconds: 15 kern.cam.da.retry_count: 4 kern.cam.da.default_timeout: 60 It looks like all these tunables are also sysctls. $.02, /Mikko -- I sense much NT in you.
