Hi, FreeBSDers:
I have not yet been able to get my mouse working. Serial mouse,
sio1/cuaa1/COM2, Mouse Systems (switchable to Microsoft, but set to Mouse
Systems and working as such in the same box in Linux and DOS/Win3.1--_and_ it
had worked fine as such in FreeBSD 2.1.5--no change in hardware!).
Here are my settings:
/etc/rc.conf
mousedtype="mousesystems"
mousedport="/dev/cuaa1"
mousedflags=""
/etc/XF86Config
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "MouseSystems"
Device "/dev/sysmouse"
I have also tried switching the mouse to Microsoft and changing the
/etc/rc.conf and /etc/XF86Config files accordingly, to no advantage. My
cursor does not move, either in ttyv0-ttyv2 after "vidcontrol -m on" or in
X. I have also tried getting rid of moused by setting /etc/rc.conf as
mousedtype="NO"
mousedport=""
mousedflags=""
and /etc/XF86Config as
Section Pointer
Protocol "MouseSystems"
Device "/dev/cuaa1"
also to no avail, getting no cursor movement in X at all. [Except for this
glitch, so far I am ecstatic about FreeBSD 2.2.2. It installed like a
charm, and my ppp is working now--I had not been able to get it working
right in 2.1.5. Fetchmail & sendmail are running well, too!! Wheee!!! But I
would very much like to get my mouse working so that I can go on to the next
things to wrastle with.]
There must be another file(s) somewhere that must be modified, but I can't
find it mentioned anywhere. Can anyone help me on this one? I have looked in
man pages, FAQ, and mail and documentation archives at www.freebsd.org for
this, and have found nothing.
Thanks, all,
Chris Booth
