Hi, I have installed FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE on a PC. It has a mouse on COM1 port. The PC also has Win 95 and mouse works fine under Win95. But under FreeBSD, (startx), mouse has no effect atall. I managed to run XF86Setup using keyboard and generated proper XF86Config file. So, video card (Diamond Stealth 3D 2000) works fine. Everything comes up. But mouse cursor doesn't move. The mouse is not a name brand one. But it's a generic serial mouse. I've set mouse protocol to various types. /dev/mouse has been linked to /dev/cuaa0. The serial port is also properly recognised at boot probe: sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa sio0: type 16550A I've disabled sio3 and 4 in custom kernel. I have GUS sound card that I haven't built into kernel yet. Otherwise, I have all the standard stuff (IDE drive, ATAPI CDROM etc). Everything works fine except this funny mouse. I've read the FAQs and tried out sysmouse by setting proper lines in rc.conf (for moused) and it didn'g work either. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. - Paras.
