If both pointing decies are handled independently, e. g. psm0 representing the Trackpoint, while the fingerslimepad is accessed per ums0 (not sure, just an assumption!), it would maybe help to explicitely tell this to moused. Something like this could work: moused_enable="YES" moused_port="/dev/psm0" moused_type="auto" If you also want to use the middle mouse button (a standard thing since the 70s, usually not working on "modern" glidepads), you could add (attention, try it, it's from my memory): moused_flags="-z 4" (But I'm not sure if you really need that, as I don't have it in my current config, but see below why.) And then add the following settings to xorg.conf: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device""/dev/sysmouse" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "EmulateWheel" "true" Option "EmulateWheelButton""2" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection This is the configuration I'm using for a standard 3-button mouse (no wheel), a Sun Type 6 USB, but it also works with 3-button mice attached per PS/2 connector. In this setting, clicking the middle mouse button will _be_ the middle mouse button, and holding it down while moving the mouse in Y direction will be the wheel functionality, much smoother and more precise than a regular mouse wheel. And if required, you can press the left _and_ the right button at the same time which also means the middle mouse button. It should work wonders with the superior TrackPoint. > No, please stop recommending this.

I would suggest the last option. Build X without HAL, run -configure, modify xorg.conf as needed, and everything works. Especially if you need a non-US keyboard layout... :-) -- 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"

Mouse problem on ThinkPad X61
Hi, I installed FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE on ThinkPad X61. When I start the X, the TrackPoint is not recognized. The mouse cursor don't move and the button clicks don't act.
