RE: problems(mouse)
During the sysinstall process of FBSD is where your mouse gets configured. You seem to think that mouse is not working just because you can not get it to work in x-desktop environment. Does the mouse pointer arrow work when in native FBSD at the command line? Your rc.conf file should have this # for ps/2 mouse moused_enable=YES moused_port=/dev/psm0 moused_type=auto # for USB mouse usbd_enable=YES Do not have ps/2 mouse statements in rc.conf if USB mouse is plugged into system at boot time. If mouse works in native FBSD then change your post subject to say 'mouse config problem in X'. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jose Julio Sent: Monday, February 16, 2004 9:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: problems(mouse) Sorry for the newbie question: installing for the first time and having problems with mouse daemon,,it does not support ay mouse that i have usb or ps/2 alike please help want to run freeBSD even if the mouse doesn't work it gives you an option to configure the xfree86 server eith the keypad but it does not work properly please help me install and configure it.. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What problems in specific are you having with moused? Do you have any error messages, or specific output from dmesg? If you give a little more info the list will better be able to help you. In the mean time, for your ps/2 mouse, do you have a couple lines in /etc/rc.conf that look like this: moused_enable=YES moused_flags=-p /dev/psm0 -t ps/2 If moused is working, you should see the mouse even on the console. If you don't, and moused if running, then try issuing the following command: vidcontrol -m on Nathan -- gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys D8527E49 pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

As they noted, it should be moused_enable=YES moused_port=/dev/psm0 moused_type=ps/2 However, I see in /etc/defaults/rc.conf that /dev/psm0 is the default, so you shouldn't need to specify that at all, assuming it's a ps/2, and moused_type defaults to auto, which I have always found to work fine for ps/2 mice. Sorry about the error. Nathan -- gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys D8527E49 pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
