Dear sir, I have tried that option which I had done before to get a mouse, but that was a ps2 mouse and not a usb mouse so it does not work :(
``Its probably because of X using hal Add: Option "AllowEmptyInput" "Off" to the server section in xorg.conf '' as in the thread referenced below: Post 24: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=3324 Hal is installed as xfce pulled it in :( A relevant part of /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows that (**) |-->Input Device "Mouse0" (**) |-->Input Device Keyboard0" (==) Not automatically adding devices (==) Not automatically enabling devices I cannot put in a PS2 mouse because the machine only has usb slots and one PS2 for the keyboard :( Any pointers other than the /dev/sysmouse or the /etc/rc.conf moused_enable="YES" which sadly have no effect are appreciated and will be tried out.
