Re: X will not start as root - need help
moused_enable=YES One thing to note is that you don't *need moused, even if you are using X. moused just gives you a mouse when you are in a text console (note, *not* a console in X, but rather a plain ol' console). So if you always just boot into X, you don't need moused. -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold;buddydog.org) The Incredible Brightness of Seeing, a Home Theater weblog http://www.anaze.us/HomeTheater To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

THANK YOU in advance. 1. $ grep mouse /etc/rc.cont moused_enable=YES I never enable moused as I don't want a mouse pointer in my terminal. It's not required for X (as others have said). From your dmesg: psm0: PS/2 Mouse irq 12 on atkbdc0 psm0: model IntelliMouse, device ID 3 From your XF86Config: Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse1 Driver mouse Option ProtocolMouseSystems Option Device /dev/sysmouse Option ClearDTR Option ClearRTS EndSection For the Device section above, try /dev/psm0 - That's how I use it. Actually, I have one line each for USB and PS/2. Also, I think the DTR and RTS stuff is only for serial mice? Are you *sure* you selected the ps2 mouse style during xf86config? The protocol should be PS/2. So re-write this with: Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse1 Driver mouse Option ProtocolPS/2 Option Device /dev/psm0 Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection The ZAxisMapping is for your mousewheel. You can also add or fake 3-button support here. See the comments in your XF86Config file.
