Second: to answer your question, the problem occurs both in X and on the console (with or without X running), both with or without a USB mouse plugged in. When plugged in, the USB mouse works just fine in any case. I've followed the suggestion of rebuilding x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse, but it doesn't make a difference and I'm inclined to say the problem is most likely not X-related.

Re: [stable-9] Touchpad mouse stopped working
This is the config file I use. Hot-connect works for USB mice and keyboards. Comments included for completeness. From rc.conf: dbus_enable="YES" moused_enable="YES" Without running moused from rc.conf, only one of the mice would work at a time. HAL is not installed, so the AutoAddDevices setting is unnecessary but kept as a reminder. The double monitor entries and Virtual setting are for using an external projector. Note that all the InputDevice stuff is commented. xorg doesn't need it. xorg.conf: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "X.org Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 # InputDevice"Mouse0" "CorePointer" # InputDevice"Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" Option "DontZap" "On" Option "AutoAddDevices" "Off" EndSection Section "Files" ModulePath "/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules" EndSection #Section "InputDevice" # Identifier "Keyboard0" # Driver "kbd" #EndSection #Section "InputDevice" # Identifier "Mouse0" # Driver "mouse" # Option "Protocol" "auto" # Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" # Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" #EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "AUO" Option "Position" "0 0" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor1" Option "Above" "LVDS" #Option "Position" "0 800" EndSection Section "Device" ### Available Driver options are:- ### Values: : integer, : float, : "True"/"False", ### : "String", : " Hz/kHz/MHz" ### [arg]: arg optional #Option "NoAccel" # [] #Option "SWcursor"# [] #Option "ColorKey"# #Option "CacheLines" # #Option "Dac6Bit" # [] #Option "DRI" # [] #Option "NoDDC" # [] #Option "ShowCache" # [] #Option "XvMCSurfaces"# #Option "PageFlip"# [] Identifier "Card0" Driver "intel" VendorName "Intel Corporation" BoardName "Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (primary)" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" Option "Monitor-LVDS" "Monitor0" Option "Monitor-VGA" "Monitor1" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor"Monitor0" SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Virtual 1280 2080 EndSubSection EndSection ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
