ANy ideas? > FBSD 3.2 > Toshiba Satellite laptop with PS/2 mouse I first encountered this immediately after upgrading to 3.3-RC. It would very rarely work when starting X and WM. The mouse (PS/2 to 9-pin adaptor on sio0 using the mousesystems protocol) would not work in console either. Both moused and X would detect it and identify it correctly but it would refuse to move. Initially I got it to work in Microsoft (two-button) mode only until I tried a more sophisticated approach... Try twiddling the mouse connector or dis- and reconnecting it - oddly enough, this is what fixes it for me. Since I'm pretty sure I don't have a hardware/connector problem and it only started doing it right after installing 3.3-RC, this behaviour strikes me as strange. -ac -- Alex Charalabidis WebNet Memphis (901) 432-6000 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
