ps2 optical wheel mouse problems
Hello all., I recently installed freeBSD 5.2 and have a problem. I have most everything working corectly except the mouse. I set it to auto and it detects the mouse but it jumps all over the screen. It's a prety standard optical wheel mouse that seems to work fine under 4.8 and under all distros of linux I've used so far. I've tried every configuration I can think of under the sun. Does anyone have any recomendations? thnx -- Jerry M.

Does anyone have any recomendations? Hi, There are two main ways of setting up the mouse. The first is to go only with the X config and the second is to rely on the consile setup. If you didn't use the second option, then please read the FAQ on the website. Could you please tell use wich option you used? It would also be a handy to have the configuration files or those parts there of that are relevant. -- Alex Articles based on solutions that I use: http://www.kruijff.org/alex/index.php?dir=docs/FreeBSD/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It would also be a handy to have the configuration files or those parts there of that are relevant. First I used /stand/sysinstall and selected the auto selecton. It detected the mouse but started jumping. After that I decided to select auto from the xf86config script, when that didn't work I tried sysmouse but got no beter response. One thing I did notice one thing. If I hook up a normal ps2 mouse and enable the mouse it works fine, even when I swap out the normal mouse for the optical but when I reboot if I have the optical mouse atached it goes back to jumping around. Realy weard. -- Jerry M. Howell II ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Realy weard. I have a wireless optical mouse ( MX700 from logitech) and thats working fine. Could you try and see if you have a working mouse in the console by setting in /etc/rc.conf these lines: moused_flags=-a .4 moused_port=/dev/psm0 moused_type=auto moused_enable=YES -- Alex Articles based on solutions that I use: http://www.kruijff.org/alex/index.php?dir=docs/FreeBSD/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
