Hi,
Before the update of x11 on 4/21/2012, X was working fine, but now
when I startx, my usb and touchpad mouse are no longer found. The
mouse works in terminal mode, and hald and dbus are started in
/etc/rc.conf.
I have exactly the same problem. What windowmanager are you
using? I'm using xfce4, I have a workaround for that.
1. start X
2. when it comes up press alt+F2, the start program dialog comes up
3. type in xterm or your terminal of choice
4. in your terminal su to root then type
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/dbus restart&& /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald restart
wait a few seconds and the mouse should work again.
There is a second way of doing this stunt.
Start X
When X is up and running press CTRL+ALT+F3 or any F* frpm F3 up to F8
then you get to the console
Su to root in the console and type in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/dbus restart&& /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald restart
Then press ALT+F9 to get back to X
I have the same problem but with a ps/2 mouse. Restarting dbus
and hald from within an xterm is a workable workaround.
Since I'm using fluxbox, I start an xterm in ~/.xinitrc in the background
to get a terminal before exec-ing fluxbox. Luckily, this xterm has
already the focus.
This is the relevant part of /var/log/Xorg.0.log regarding the
mouse:
(II) config/hal: Adding input device PS/2 Mouse

(II) Loading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/input/mouse_drv.so

After restarting hald:

(WW) PS/2 Mouse: No Device specified, looking for one...
(II) PS/2 Mouse: Setting Device option to "/dev/sysmouse"
(--) PS/2 Mouse: Device: "/dev/sysmouse"

(**) PS/2 Mouse: ZAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5
(**) PS/2 Mouse: Buttons: 9
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "PS/2 Mouse" (type: MOUSE)
Interestingly, the first time Xorg tries to access the
mouse, it opens /dev/psm0, and the second time after
manually restarting hald, it accesses /dev/sysmouse...
which is the driver that I always use in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection
Shouldn't Xorg use /dev/sysmouse all the time then?
Why does it try to open /dev/psm0?
I hope this problem will get fixed soon. ;-)
Thanks for the good workaround.

-cpghost.
