mouse dead on FreeBSD but not on Windows

2006-01-03 Thread Fernan Aguero
Hi!

I've a dual boot machine, which was running FreeBSD-5.4 (now
6.0p1) and WinXP. It has a cheap PS/2 mouse (Biswal is the
brand, but I guess it's just a generic mouse, details at the
bottom).

In Windows it works flawlessly ... wheel included. It's been
running for months. In FreeBSD it never worked. I don't know
if I'm doing something wrong ... this machine is the first
box in which I installed 5.x so perhaps there are some
configuration differences from 4.x tham I'm unaware of?

Any help would be appreciated (of course I can go buy
another cheap mouse ... but I'm intrigued now).

The details:

dmesg says:
psm0: PS/2 Mouse irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: [GIANT LOCKED]
psm0: model Intellimouse, device ID 3

moused says:
moused -i all -p /dev/psm0
/dev/psm0 ps/2 sysmouse Intellimouse

I've tried to run 'vidcontrol -m on' and then 'moused -p
/dev/psm0 -t auto/sysmouse' and I never get an arrow on the
screen.

I've got X installed with gnome and when booting I always
get a black arrow in the xdm login screen that I cannot move
with the mouse. I also tried to tweak my Xorg.conf file to
no avail.

My custom kernel has the following (I quote what I guess
it's relevant, do ask for more detail if neccessary):
device  atkbdc
device  atkbd
device  psm

I just cvsuped against RELENG_6_0 and rebuilt the world and
kernel. All the base system is now 6.0p1, and now I need to
rebuild all ports ... but apart from that the mouse is still
dead on FreeBSD.

Again thanks for any help,

fernan

Are you using moused, or Xorg's mouse daemon? please send the applicable
section from your xorg.conf. Thanks

Frank, thanks for your reply,

this is not just a problem in xorg, it is also the mouse not
working in the console (without X). I don't get an arrow
cursor that I can use in the console to copy/paste text.

I've tried using moused (moused_enable=YES in rc.conf) and
then using /dev/sysmouse in xorg.conf and also disabling
moused and using /dev/psm0 in xorg.conf.

Identifier  Mouse1
Driver  mouse
Option ProtocolPS/2
Option Device  /dev/psm0
Option ZAxisMapping 4 5

(I've done tests with and w/o the ZAxisMapping line, and as
mentioned with psm0 or sysmouse after /dev/ in the Device
option. None worked).

When using /dev/psm0 in xorg.conf I got the typical X cursor
instead of the arrow, and I could move it with the mouse,
although the movement was erratic ... most of the movement
of the mouse was not recognized and sometimes the cursor
would move to the bottom left corner of the screen  

Using moused and /dev/sysmouse in xorg.conf resulted in a
black arrow as a cursor, as mentioned, but the cursor would
not move at all. 

I exchanged the mouse, and now the same setup works (only
tested the mouse in the console since I'm now rebuilding the
xorg from ports). This is also a generic mouse (Noganet,
PS/2) but it has three buttons instead of two and a wheel. 

Maybe the other mouse is defective, but it works without a
hitch in WinXP ... or perhaps I'm missing some essential flags
that need to be added for a wheel mouse?

Also, I've tried different combinations of ports/types using
/stand/sysinstall (post-install configurarion-mouse) and I
never got an arrow shown in the screen when activating the
mouse daemon with the wheel mouse.

Have you tried starting mouse manually in the foreground? or with
debugging flags? take a look at `man moused` I had a PS/2 mouse, pretty
generic, came up in dmesg as a 4D+ mouse. It would work, but was
jumping all over the screen, worked fine in windows AND interestingly
enough, linux as well. might just be a glitchy implementation, worst
case you gotta pickup another $5 mouse. :)
