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.

Malte.
