Maybe you don't have 'moused' configured correctly? I have the exact setup you describe, and it works great since I fixed my config. The main points that were biting me were that moused should be pointed at the port your mouse is attached to (/dev/cuaa0 in my case), but X should be looking at /dev/sysmouse, and also that the mousetype that you give to moused should be the actual mousetype that you have (mouseman in my case), but X will always see a MouseSystems mouse. Hope some of this helps you out... Here is my config: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From /etc/sysconfig: # Set to # {microsoft|mousesystems|mmseries|logitech|busmouse|mouseman|ps/2|mmhittab} # to activate system mouse cursor support (or NO for none) # Use 'vidcontrol -m on' command to activate it on particular screen mousedtype=mouseman ############## Next block activated only if mousetype != NO ################ # Set to your mouse port (required) # Use real device here, because /dev/mouse usually linked with /dev/sysmouse mousedport=/dev/cuaa0 # Moused options: # -s: 9600 baud mouse # -c: enable ChordMiddle # see moused usage info for complete options list mousedflags="" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From /etc/XF86Config: # ********************************************************************** # Pointer section # ********************************************************************** Section "Pointer" Protocol "MouseSystems" Device "/dev/mouse" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- From /dev: #ls -l /dev/cuaa0 crw-rw---- 1 uucp dialer 28, 128 Oct 20 14:42 /dev/cuaa0 #ls -l /dev/sysmouse crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 128 Oct 20 15:21 /dev/sysmouse ls -l /dev/mouse lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 13 Oct 20 14:41 /dev/mouse -> /dev/sysmouse ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Donald J.
