i'm having a bit of a problem with XFree86 4.0 and my mouse cooperating
in FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE..
i installed X today from the ports collection. everything installed
just fine, i ran xf86config and all went okay, and then i edited the
XF86Config file to touch up a few things. everything seems to work
great-- except my mouse. When I start X, the cursor appears, but
doesn't respond at all. no movement, clicks, etc.
yes, i am running moused, but i'm pretty sure i have my pointer section
set up correctly in XF86Config to handle this. here's where i'm at.. my
mouse is a ps/2 mouse with a scroll wheel. (its a newer logitech model,
if that's relevant). i run moused at startup with this command:
moused -p /dev/psm0 -t ps/2 -z 4
and in XF86Config I have my mouse set up with this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "Protocol" "SysMouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
EndSection
One last note.. moused in the console works just fine-- just X has a
problem with it. also, i've tried killing moused and changing my
XF86Config file to reflect PS/2 and /dev/psm0. Under these conditions,
it moves just fine, but when i click a button, it dumps with a Bus
Error, and says I have something wrong with my hardware configuration.
*any* help or suggestions would be appreciated-- i've been playing with
this one problem for a few hours now. =(
