Re: under X, frozen keys, no mouse
Henry, you may have installed xorg with the HAL-option on. If you want to try without it go to the /usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-server. Use #make config, switch off the HAL support and #make reinstall. Cheers herb langhans On Sun, Apr 04, 2010 at 10:54:03PM -0400, Henry Olyer wrote: I installed FBSD 7.3 on an older Compaq box.

A missing driver in freebsd that open puts on by default? again, too vague. wish I knew more... as do I. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
