You only need to use /dev/sysmouse if you are using the mouse daemon, moused. Does the mouse work ok at the console? If not, verify these settings in your rc.conf moused_enable="YES" # Run the mouse daemon. moused_type="microsoft" # See man page for rc.conf(5) for available settings. moused_port="/dev/cuaa0" # Set to your mouse port. moused_flags="" # Any additional flags to moused. If it is not on the first serial port, change the "dev/cuaa0" entry accordingly. If you do not wish to run moused, try changing the setting in /etc/XF86Config Section "Pointer" Protocol "MouseSystems" Device "/dev/sysmouse" to read Section "Pointer" Protocol "Microsoft" Device "/dev/cuaa0" -rob ( www.namodn.com ) ( robert@namodn.com ) On Thu, 24 Dec 1998, Reza Tahir wrote: > Dear All, > > I have a couple of problems here: > 1) when I installed FreeBSD 2.2.7 I forgot to plug in the micro$oft serial mouse on COM1 > 2) Then when I tried to /stand/sysinstall the "XF86Setup" and selected "/dev/sysmouse" it won't work. > The same goes to "/dev/cua0" when I chose this.
