Mouse in Xfree86 4.2.0
Hello When I start XFree86 I get the error that /dev/mouse can't be found, OK devfs seems to be installd so MAKEDEV dosn't exist anymore, is there anyway to get /dev/mouse working as in FreeBSD 4?

Whats about editing /etc/rc.devfs and inserting a symlink from /dev/mouse to /dev/sysmouse ?

Re: Mouse in Xfree86 4.2.0
I had this similiar problem. Sysinstall - post configure and re-do your mouse. The only workaround I have found. /ges At 10:02 AM 4/15/2002 +0200, John Angelmo wrote: Hello When I start XFree86 I get the error that /dev/mouse can't be found, OK devfs seems to be installd so MAKEDEV dosn't exist anymore, is there anyway to get /dev/mouse working as in FreeBSD 4?

The other way, is to edit your XF86Config to point to /dev/pcm0 (if you are using a PS2 mouse), or /dev/sioN (N being the COM port number), which gives XFree86 direct access to your mouse. But remember, if you do this, you will need to disable the moused from Sysinstall.

Technically the MAKEDEV script still exists in src/etc/MAKEDEV*, but it is only copied to /dev if you have disabled the DEVFS k-option, afaik. -- Hiten Pandya -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do You Yahoo!?

I have requested of both the XFree86-4 Server and of Portmgr to make the default mouse device /dev/sysmouse. But my emails have gone unanswered.

This does not stop you from doing. -- wca To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message
