moused_enable="YES" is already in /etc/rc.conf and I ran # rcenable moused start and it says that it is already started. I run startx and mouse pointer is at center and does not move :(
I will try to add the firefox again, but I want to build it with pkgsrc. How do I sync again the new files to see if I can get the 20.0.1 version of firefox? a git pull within /usr/pkgsrc/ directory as root? I apologize for asking since I am more acustomed to running portsnap fetch extract.. from freebsd ports system. Best Regards && Thanks for advice to all who have provided feedback/advice.
