8.0 release serial mouse not working
Been using the same serial mouse since release 7.0 through 7.1 and 7.2. Just installed release 8.0 and the rc.conf statements dont work any longer. # serial port radioshack 2 button mouse moused_port=/dev/cuad0 moused_type=intellimouse moused_enable=YES Nothing has changed on the box hardware. Mouse worked in 7.2 but not in 8.0 I even tried sysinstall/configure/mouse to test other options and none worked. Has serial mouse support been dropped in release 8.0 and not removed from sysinstall? ___ 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

On version 7, I have /dev/cuad0, /dev/cuad0.init and /dev/cuad0.lock. On version 8, there's /dev/cuau0, /dev/cuau0.init and /dev/cuau0.lock instead. Maybe loading a kernel module is required to have the serial ports available again? /dev does have cuau0 cuau1 for uucp dialer. could this be the names of the serial ports in 8.0? It seems that they don't work for the mouse because they're something different. I think there's another problem rising: Assume you want to have a serial dialin line (e. g. for a serial terminal), then you would have something like ttyd0 /usr/libexec/getty std.115200 vt320 on secure in /etc/ttys. The question would be: If /dev/ttyd0 does not exist anymore, how to make this work again? -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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
