Optical PS/2 mouse not working under X
Hello, I recently purchased a new PS/2 optical mouse. I can't seem to get it working under X. On Debian and Slackware I use: Protocol auto or ImPS/2 and it works fine. Under FreeBSD nothing seems to work, auto, Microsoft, PS/2, etc. and there is no ImPS/2 option. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If it work on console it will 99% work under X. -- IOnut Unregistered ;) FreeBSD user ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Clinton My optical mouse with the scroll wheel works fine. It's a USB mouse connected to the PS/2 port using an adapter. First, configure the mouse. As root: 1. Execute '/stand/sysinstall' 2. Select Index 3. Select Device, Mouse and click on OK 4. Select 2 Enable Test and run the mouse daemon. If your mouse works, exit this menu and then exit the sysinstall program. 5. If the mouse doesn't work, play with options 3 (Select mouse protocol type) and 4 (Select mouse port) and then test the mouse again. After the mouse is properly configured in the system, edit the mouse section of your X configuration file using /dev/sysmouse. Here's the section from my /etc/X11/XF86Config: Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse Option Protocol auto Option Device /dev/sysmouse EndSection I hope this helps, Andrew Gould ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
