Mouse in Xfree86 4.2.0
Hello When I start XFree86 I get the error that /dev/mouse can't be found, OK devfs seems to be installd so MAKEDEV dosn't exist anymore, is there anyway to get /dev/mouse working as in FreeBSD 4?

Re: Mouse in Xfree86 4.2.0
Whats about editing /etc/rc.devfs and inserting a symlink from /dev/mouse to /dev/sysmouse ?

Re: Mouse in Xfree86 4.2.0
I had this similiar problem. Sysinstall - post configure and re-do your mouse. The only workaround I have found. /ges At 10:02 AM 4/15/2002 +0200, John Angelmo wrote: >Hello > >When I start XFree86 I get the error that /dev/mouse can't be found, OK >devfs seems to be installd so MAKEDEV dosn't exist anymore, is there >anyway to get /dev/mouse working as in FreeBSD 4? > >Thanks > >/John > > >To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] >with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

The other way, is to edit your XF86Config to point to /dev/pcm0 (if you are using a PS2 mouse), or /dev/sioN (N being the COM port number), which gives XFree86 direct access to your mouse. But remember, if you do this, you will need to disable the moused from Sysinstall. > >When I start XFree86 I get the error that /dev/mouse can't be found, OK > >devfs seems to be installd so MAKEDEV dosn't exist anymore, is there > >anyway to get /dev/mouse working as in FreeBSD 4? Technically the MAKEDEV script still exists in src/etc/MAKEDEV*, but it is only copied to /dev if you have disabled the DEVFS k-option, afaik. -- Hiten Pandya -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> __ Do You Yahoo!?

I have requested of both the XFree86-4 Server and of Portmgr to make the default mouse device /dev/sysmouse. But my emails have gone unanswered.

But my emails have gone unanswered. They did not go unanswered. I said it was a good idea and that I would do it, but due to lack of time I haven't done it yet. This does not stop you from doing. -- wca To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
