I've once had troubles too with mounting fat32 partitions since the slice-numbering often turns out to be different from what you might expect. the partition i want to mount isn't listed in mount, but here's the output anyway: /dev/ad4s1a on / (ufs, local) /dev/ad4s1f on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/ad4s1g on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/ad4s1e on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates) procfs on /proc (procfs, local) I think that should be mount -t msdos /dev/ad4s5 /mnt rather than /dev/ad0s5. For moused in console use: moused -p /dev/ums0 or set the appropriate values in /etc/rc.conf. 'moused -p /dev/ums0' in console returns a 'Device busy' error. My lines for the mouse in /etc/rc.conf are as follows, however: moused_port=/dev/ums0 moused_type=auto moused_enable=YES First you would have to kill the moused processes running of course, perhaps you forgot that? And maybe this is a redundant question, but do you have the whole USB support options in your kernel config for the kernel to support USB? For X use: Options Protocol Auto Options Device /dev/sysmouse see `man 5 XF86Config`. This should get the USB mouse working in both X and the console. Those are the the settings I'm already using...but it still doesn't work. Hm this is just what I use on my laptop and it works pretty well.

One, I have an extended fat32 partition on the same drive (ide) that FreeBSD 4.6 is installed on. I have tried mounting it with 'mount -t msdos /dev/ad0s5 /mnt', but only to get a 'Device not configured' error. This is just a guess: does the device exist in /dev? It didn't at first, but a helping hand suggested that I use MAKEDEV, which succeeded in creating ad0s5 in /dev. ok, so this is fixed. no, the device exists now, but I get the 'Device not configured error.' Second, I'm having difficulty getting my mouse to work properly in X. It works in the console, but when I load either kde or gnome, the moment i move the mouse the slightest bit, it jumps to the topleft corner of the screen, sometimes opening a menu on the desktop. It does not respond to mouse clicks, and moving the mouse does not do much. It is a USB MS Intellimouse optical. I have also tried using a generic ps/2 mouse, but I get the same error. You most probably need to a) turn off moused b) set the protocol to auto in both moused and x. Look in the archives. I have done that, and to no avail. I should add, that my mouse works perfectly fine in xf86cfg. i'm afraid i won't be of any help then. i use xf86config, not xf86cfg, and my mice have always worked with this setup. i don't use gnome or kde though, just a window manager. i've tried both configs. -- FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE 11:22AM up 48 mins, 4 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
