Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk .... I've searched the FAQ, etc up and down, and didn't find anythign that quite fit my problem: upon boot-up, moused runs from rc.conf, and gives no errors. ps -ax confirms the daemon is running with the flags I wish. But I don't get a cursor at all. The man page does not say anything special needs to be done once the daemon is running, so I assume there's something I'm missing. the appropriate snippet from rc.conf: moused_type="mousesystems" # I have a ms three-button mouse, this # setting works for XF86. moused_port="/dev/cuaa0" # again, X is happy with this, no # conflicts with another port/dev moused_flags="-s" # tried this and -S 9600 Is there something more that needs to be done, or do I have a problem that's a little more sinister?
