Thanks for the response.
1) Do we have to explicitly invoke the moused daemon? Is it not
automatically started by startx/xinit? I haven't run moused
until now.
2) Here is the Pointer section in /etc/XF86Config file:
# **********************************************************************
# Pointer section
# **********************************************************************
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "MouseMan"
Device "/dev/ttyd0"
# When using XQUEUE, comment out the above two lines, and uncomment
# the following line.
# Protocol "Xqueue"
# Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice
# BaudRate 9600
# SampleRate 150
# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)
# Emulate3Buttons
# Emulate3Timeout 50
I have tried changing the Protocol and Device to different combinations, but
in vain. When I run startx (which calls xinit), the windows come up, but the
mouse is inactive.
3) Here is the config line from /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/MYKERNEL:
.....
device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty irq 4 vector siointr
device sio1 at isa? port "IO_COM2" tty irq 3 vector siointr
device sio2 at isa? disable port "IO_COM3" tty irq 5 vector siointr
device sio3 at isa? disable port "IO_COM4" tty irq 9 vector siointr
device lpt0 at isa? port? tty irq 7 vector lptintr
device lpt1 at isa? port? tty
#device mse0 at isa? port 0x23c tty irq 5 vector mseintr
device mse0 at isa? port? tty irq 5 vector mseintr
device psm0 at isa? disable port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12
vector ps
mintr
options PSM_CHECKSYNC #checks the header byte for sync
Note: I have specified the port as ?, with the assumtion that it
will cause the driver to scan the BIOS port list.
If I closely look at my mouse connection, the cable
inside the PC is connected to mother-board.
Please let me know what I can try to make it work.
Thanks a lot for the help.
Regards,
Mahesh

1. Are you using moused ?
2. What does the Pointer-section in /etc/XF86Config look like ?
3. Show the mouse-config-line of your kernel-config-file.
