I hate meeses to pieces
I am an extreme newbie at FreeBSD. I have it installed but when I go into the Xserver in either of the two GUIs I get a weird mouse that seems to only be able to stay on the very top of the screen and has no vertical movement. I have it setup on Auto and PS/2 Busmouse settings. It works when the config is run from the command line but it blows up like I described upon entering the GUI (i.e. KDE) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: I hate meeses to pieces
You can set the protocol to MouseManPlusPS/2 in /etc/X11/XF86Config file. It might actually make your mouse work. --- On Fri 07/18, Daryl Hunt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Daryl Hunt [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2003 00:34:12 -0600 Subject: I hate meeses to pieces I am an extreme newbie at FreeBSD.

This problem happened to me at least a couple time when I installed X with different mice. I've got several boxes running thru a KVM switch and using the PS/2 protocol and use: Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse Option Protocol Auto Option Device /dev/sysmouse EndSection I'm using ctwm, not KDE, but this ought have nothing to do with the mouse-at-top-of-screen. IIRC, the problem happened as soon as xlogin screen appeared and after I touched the mouse.

I had this problem when I let X open the /dev entry for the mouse on it's own, but if I use moused the problem disappears. So I'd suggest that you make sure you're using moused, and then make sure it's using /dev/sysmouse. If you're still having the problem after that, then I'm out of ideas :-P Ken ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
