?? 1455 lines - just curios - what did you put in there ?
my desktop:
it# wc -l /etc/rc.conf
  21 /etc/rc.conf

my router:
buh# wc -l /etc/rc.conf

Please send the output of:
it# dmesg | grep ps2
or
it# cat /var/run/dmesg.boot | grep psm

man moused will give you some hints.
Especilly:
-d  Enable debugging messages.

-f  Do not become a daemon and instead run as a foreground process. 
   Useful for testing and debugging.

-i info  Print specified information and quit.

Hmm, I was just about to post an update, as it seems the bios updating
didn't solve anything.

I've just updated my BIOS to 7VT600F.F4

PS2 Mouse Problems And ACPI?? Are They Related?

2003-10-24 Thread Brian Black
hi
  OS: 5.1R
  Mouse: Logitech optical wireless (the one with the rechargeable base 
station and like 7 buttons)
  *(This Mouse Is a usb mouse but i have a usb2ps2 connector that i have.)*
 After my install finished (gone well and returned no errors, but i did not 
set up the mouse yet).  So i am going to try to configure the ps2 mouse 
port.
  device " /dev/psm0"
  port "auto"
  flags "-z 4"
After this i usually reboot the machine,(need to learn how to stop and start 
the moused from the command line ).  Now weather i set the mouse up this way 
or using /stand/sysinstall, i get the same effect.  If i move the mouse 
around in console mode i notice that it disappears while i am moving it and 
then reappears in its new position when i stop moving it.  So when i startx 
i cannot follow where my mouse is at because of the blinking problem.  This 
really [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Now i notice if i disable acpi at startup the mouse works correctly in the 
console mode, but i loose the ability to use my usb ports(figures), and when 
i try to startx with acpi disabled my mouse is stuck in the top right corner 
jumping around.

Finally I try to use the mouse in the usb port, so i configure the mouse 
such as (rc.conf)
  usb_enable="YES"
  moused_port="/dev/ums0"  //This Number Came From dmesg.
  moused_type="auto"
  moused_enable="YES"
after a reboot i can c my mouse in console mode and it moves around, but an 
error occured during init of the rc.config file that reads something like 
"cant open /dev/ums0, device busy".  X will not run returns with an error 
something like "no core pointer available".

So I have no mouse available in new 5.x series.  I have no idea how to fix 
this, any advice would help out thanx.

Problems with ACPI And My PS2 Mouse!!

2003-08-18 Thread Brian Black
hey,
   I recently installed 5.1R and after boot up, with acpi enabled, my 
mouse begins to work incorrectly.  when i move the mouse it disappears 
and reappears elsewhere when i stop..  Whats Wrong???  When i disable 
acpi from boot up the problems goes away??  But i cant disable this 
because i need to make use of my usb ports??  I have a Soyo KT333 dragon 
lite motherboard if that helps.  i guess from what i hear that the 
problem might be with the board( I hope not because it cost a lot of 
money ;-)) .   Could someone shed some light on this problem for me.   TIA

Try running xf86config. This is what I used to configure my mouse for X.

PS2 Mouse

2003-06-04 Thread Lucelio D. Nascimento
   Hi, I was trying the FreeBSD 5.0 and the installation was perfect, but,
when I tried to run the Gnome, my mouse didn't work. Here is the
configuration of my machine:
Intel Pentium 4 - 1.6 GHz / 256 MB RAM / HD: 20 GB. The motherboard is a
Intel 845HV, so, I don't know if there is a problem to work with this
Motherboard. I tried to use a serial mouse but the problem was the same. I
used the sysinstall to configure it. Is there another form to work with this
machine?
   Please, Do not try to contact me by phone because i'm in Brazil.




Thanks a lot.
