I have a laptop with a touchpad which is seen by FreeBSD 5.4 as a ps/2 mo= use. I configured moused and xorg.conf where the mouse has protocol "Auto" and= device "/dev/sysmouse". now, 1) if I turn ON the pc and boot the mouse works flawlessly as expected. Specifically I mean, among other things, that double-hitting the pad an application icon the application is selected and launched, hitting the pa= d open a menu and select an item of it, etc.. 2) if I reboot into FreeBSD without turning off the computer from either win XP or Freebsd 5.4 itself, the mouse can only move around but it is un= able to launch anything by double-hitting the pad or even to open any menu by hitting the pad. It all goes as though when rebooting without turning off the pc something= "alien" is kept in the "memory" of the mousepad, in its wires and this di= sturbs the consequent setting. My question is: Is there any way under freebsd 5.4 at boot time to completely reset the mouse, to clear anything "alien" from it? Ciao Vittorio =20
