RE: Jittery PS/2 Mouse in 7.0-RELEASE
I believe if you run the mouse daemon and use /dev/sysmouse in xorg it will work a lot better.

Optical PS/2 Mouse ???
Hi, I invested 5 EUR in a nice Optical PS/2 mouse and I can't get it working with FreeBSD, neither on console nor on xorg.

ps/2 mouse
My PS/2 mouse doesn't move in Xorg. I've tried the protocol on auto and ps/2 in xorgconfig, but nothing seems to work. I've noticed there isn't an entry in /dev for psm0. I'm using a keyboard, video, mouse switcher, but that shouldn't matter because it worked on linux before. I tried adding the mouse in sysinstall with the mouse daemon, but i still have no psm0, and of course, the mouse still doesnt work. Any help, ideas, suggestions would be wonderful.

PS/2 mouse problem via kvm switch
Hi, I have problem with ps/2 scroll mouse when connecting via Nova View KNV102 kvm switch. The mouse doesn't work. It just moved to the top-right of the screen and stuck there. It has no problem when connecting mouse directly with the pc, everything works fine. My system is Compaq Evo d530, 1GB RAM, 160 GB IDE, ps/2 mouse and keyboard. Problems: 1. I tested on the FreeBSD 4.9, 4.10, and 5.2.1. All of them have the same problem with the kvm. 2. I tested on Suse 9.1 (FTP install) and it had the same problem. But when I test with Suse 9.0 Personal (CD install), there is no problem at all. What should I do to solve the problem? Thanks in advance.

Why are you blaming FreeBSD for this problem when other KVM switch manufacturers have obviously dealt with it. Maybe you should sell yours on Ebay and buy a different brand. FWIW, I tried several brands of small KVMs and found that many work most of the time but occasionally have problems with the rodent, this with both Windows NT and FreeBSD. This occasionally seems to correspond to particular workstations more than OSes or mice (though I didn't test rigorously), and in this case seemingly identical workstations (Dells) differ. I did not try Nova View. When I found a brand of KVM that didn't offer this feature of occasional flakiness I stuck with it, and now have about 10 IOgear KVMs, mostly MiniView SEs of two, four or eight ports. Note that we're a small business and none of these are what you'd call enterprise class KVMs, a market where Avocent, Raritan and Minicom are the primary players. We'll be going there soon. The only issue I've seen that seems to be FreeBSD-related has been that some FreeBSD machines seem to like to have the KVMs set to them when they boot, though that doesn't seem to be consistent and I've not taken the time to pin it down.

ps/2 mouse not detected when no keyboard is present
Hello all, Here is my problem. I've got a fanless computer with a FreeBSD 5.2.1 embedded in a CompactFlash card. On this appliance, I must plug a PS/2 mouse but NO keyboard. When I boot the appliance with a keyboard and a mouse, no problem, atkbdc0 is detected, with atkbd0 and psm0 on it. The problem is that when I boot with no keyboard, the controller (atkbdc0) isn't detected any more, so the mouse (psm0) isn't detected ; dmesg doesn't show atkbdc, atkbd or psm. Does anyone know what can I do ? I must be able to boot with a mouse but no keyboard. I tried setting different flags for atkbd0 in device.hints. Maybe there's a way with the kernel, sysctl or device.hints, or something else, to have an atkbd0 detected even with no keyboard plugged in. Or to force the detection of the controller atkbdc0, on which is the mouse. Thanks for any answer, I really need help, I didn't find something similar on google and I don't know what to do for now. I think it's a problem with the way atkbdc works so I didn't included a specific dmesg, but if you want more info, dont't hesistate to ask.

If your mouse works, exit this menu and then exit the sysinstall program. 5. If the mouse doesn't work, play with options 3 (Select mouse protocol type) and 4 (Select mouse port) and then test the mouse again. After the mouse is properly configured in the system, edit the mouse section of your X configuration file using /dev/sysmouse.
