Thanks for the help, Daniel. Now I do have a functioning mouse cursor
and Xorg does indeed start, but the Synaptics driver won't load. I'm
guessing because the touchpad is filtered via /dev/sysmouse and it
can't pick up what it needs to run correctly.

Now I get the following if I try and use the synaptics driver in Xorg:

(EE) Synaptics Touchpad no synaptics touchpad detected and no repeater device
(EE) Synaptics Touchpad Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "Synaptics Touchpad"

Then Xorg fails to start with the errors I mentioned earlier.

For the moment I've reverted to the generic mouse driver - at least I
can get to X, although the touchpad is still lacking all its wonderful
goodies which made it a pleasure to use (scrolling, etc).

(Also sending back to the list as I've got an annoying habit of
hitting reply, instead of reply all)

  Try to check if moused is running. If is running, check if /dev/sysmouse
is present.

  If moused is running, set mouse device in Xorg to /dev/sysmouse.

  Also, moused is a better option on Xorg.

/dev/psm0 and Xorg woes

2007-06-01 Thread Paul Fraser

Hi all,

I've got an interesting problem which only just appeared today on my
6-STABLE laptop. Upon boot, gdm fails to load with the following
error:

gdm[874]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0
gdm[961]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0
gdm[965]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0
gdm[871]: Failed to start X server several times in a short time
period; disabling display :0

Looking at the end of Xorg.0.log seems to indicate this is a problem
with the Synaptics Touchpad on the notebook (/dev/psm0):

I do have hw.psm.synaptics_support=1 defined in /boot/loader.conf, and
the kernel does identify it as a touchpad on boot:

psm0:  irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
psm0: model Synaptics Touchpad, device ID 0

Trying to do cat /dev/psm0 gives me the following error:
cat: /dev/psm0: Resource temporarily unavailable

To me (though I'd hardly say I'm qualified to say for sure) this seems
to be the cause of the problem. I'm not running moused on this system,
so there shouldn't be anything locking the device.

Does anybody have any suggestions? It's quite frustrating, suddenly
being unable to use Xorg on my notebook when it was working perfectly
well just yesterday. But darned if I can think of what changes I
made...

FWIW, the touchpad does work fine under Windows.

That may be the trick, I typically boot both machines at the same time. 
The windows box doesn't care, it works every time. I turned off the BSD 
box and rebooted with the KVM selector on its port and everything 
works. There is still the possibility that the KVM switch is flaky.

using KVM switch /dev/psm0 is missing

2006-03-21 Thread Malcolm Fitzgerald
I have a no name 2 port KVM switch and a Logitech marble mouse USB with a ps/2 
adapter.

The KVM switch works on port 1 and 2 when it is connected to the windows box.
The mouse works on the ps/2 port when it is connected directly to the BSD box.

When the mouse is connected via the KVM switch the mouse doesn't work and 
there is no psm0 in /dev.

What can I do to discover the mouse and get /dev/psm0 ?

mknod /dev/psm0 c 21 1 root:wheel (fails..)

2004-06-22 Thread Bill Schoolcraft
Subject: mknod /dev/psm0 c 21 1 root:wheel (fails..)

Hello,

I've been trying to figure out "what" creates /dev/psm0 on FreeBSD-5.2.1
for I'm stuck with a new Dell-Inspiron-5150 where FreeBSD cannot see the
standard mouse.  As I stated in my last email, Linux and Windows-XP has
not displayed this problem.

Sooo, I took a look on my other FreeBSD-5.2.1 laptop, a Fujitsu and saw
that the files that are missing are on this laptop so I read the manpage
for "mknod" and ran the following commands in hope of creating /dev/psm0

I used the same major:minor numbers from my laptop and got the following
error.

#> mknod /dev/psm0 c 21 1 root:wheel

And here was the error I got.

#> mknod: /dev/psm0:  No such file or directory

Well depite messing with this for quite some time I still had enought
humor left to say outloud..

NO KIDDING..

S, I'm now wondering what does create /dev/psm0 and what does it take
from the keyboard to create devices such as /dev/psm0 and /dev/mouse etc.
The mouse is NOT detected via sysinstall and I noticed in the "mouse"
setup options there was also an option that mentioned a non-existant
device file, that was /dev/mse0

Thanks for any help on this. :)

On some of my systems I have found USB or other hardware being disabled

digging in FBSD as I did once.

Also might want to have a look at how your emailer is addressing the

There is some info about FreeBSD on laptops here:

I do not see the PCG-GRX550 listed, but several other vaio PCGs are

What if the PS/2-Mouse-Support in the kernel failed to detect a ps/2
mouse? Wouldn't that result in no /deve/psm0, even with
PS/2-Mouse-Support in the kernel?

I take it you wanted to say "I do *NOT* have busmouse or psm0". 
FreeBSD 5.x uses devfs, i.e. it creates device nodes automatically for 
device-drivers present in the kernel. So if there is no /dev/psm0 this should 
mean that there is no PS/2-Mouse-Support present in the kernel.

>

If you haven't done so already, check the handbook 
(/usr/share/doc//books/handbook).
You should also check /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC and build your custom 
kernel file from that. Copy GENERIC to a new filename and edit, remove all 
the stuff you don't need (SCSI, probably, among others), add stuff you do 
need...

I use FreeBSD 5.0 with a PS/2 mouse on my machine, and the mouse worked 
happily from the first moment on. I don't think this is a problem with the 
PS/2-driver.
I understand there is a website on using FreeBSD on laptops. Maybe you should 
google for that, and maybe ask Sony, as well, if they have some experience 
regarding FreeBSD (or some other BSD) on the model you are using. 
There also was a website about using UNIX and UNIX-like systems on laptops, 
www.mobilix.org; unfortunately, the website is not available due to copyright 
reasons, but there is an eMail-link to the site's owner. Maybe he can give 
you a hint, as well. 

Kind regards,

Benjamin

RE: /dev/psm0

2003-07-28 Thread DJ Landreneau
As the original poster of this thread I feel compelled to provide some more
information.

I am running FreeBSD 5.0 that I obtained through the FreeBSD Unleased book I
purchased from Barnes & Noble.

Here is a numerated list of more:

1. Sony VAIO PCG-GRX550 laptop.
2. 40gb hard drive
3. 512mb RAM.
4. The video adapter is a Mobility Raadeon 7500 with 32mb of video memory.

When I boot up FreeBSD and do ls -al on the /dev directory I do have
busmouse or psm0 in the directory. Someone in an earlier reply to my post
said this means that I do not have psm0 support in my kernel.

Therefore, I am in the process of researching building a custom kernel that
will include support for the PS/2 mouse.

I must admit that I am rather surprised that an advanced OS such as FreeBSD
does not include support for PS/2 in its generic configuration.

I guess the original question should have been, why isnt the touchpad
working
with the psm support included in the generic kernel, I would be hard pressed
to help since I have never used fbsd on a laptop - I was just pointing out
that including psm support in the kernel is probably not going to be enough
since it is already there.

I am not the original poster, by the way, though I would be interested in
the
answer as well.

I guess the original question should have been, why isnt the touchpad working
with the psm support included in the generic kernel, I would be hard pressed
to help since I have never used fbsd on a laptop - I was just pointing out
that including psm support in the kernel is probably not going to be enough
since it is already there.

I am not the original poster, by the way, though I would be interested in the
answer as well.

Then... your original question was answered.. by yourself.

I don't know what you are trying to ask.

I am sure the psm device is built in the generic kernel though.

Read the chapter in the handbook about kernel configuration, and take
it from there.

I am running 5.0 that came with "FreeBSD Unleashed" by Sams.

Can you point me into the correct direction for enabling kernel support for
psm0?

You didn't mention which version you're running, but if you're running
4.x that means that you either haven't built the device (see
/etc/MAKEDEV) and also may not have kernel support for the psm device,
and under 5.x that you don't have kernel support for the psm device.

2003-07-26 Thread DJ Landreneau
I recently installed fbsd on my Sony Vaio. I am unable to get my trackpad
mouse to work under X. I noticed that the device psm0 is not on the system
under /dev.

How do I get a trackpad mouse to work?
