Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- This week I finally upgraded my venerable old 486 to a brand new, shiny Pentium 133. My new motherboard is great. Built-in floppy/IDE/serial ports, so I can finally ditch my old multi I/O card. And a PS/2 Mouse Port! "Wow, this is pretty neat," i thought, "I can finally plug my Logitech TrackMan Vista into the PS/2 port and thus free up a serial port!" (The TrackMan Vista is a PS/2 device, and I have been running it through one of my serial ports using a PS/2->serial adapter.) So I plugged it in, compiled the psm0 driver into my kernel (2.2.5-R), and voila! It works! Only problem is that the mouse pointer (in both X and syscons) is on the slowish side. I have to move the mouseball quite a number of inches to fully traverse my 17-inch monitor desktop. Is there any way to speed up the response of this mouse (i.e. add acceleration, etc.)? (I checked my BIOS; it has no such setting.) (I'm more concerned with mouse response under X than under syscons, since I use X more often.) Please respond to me by e-mail at . Thanks! ded my venerable old 486 to a brand new, shiny Pentium 133. My new motherboard is great. Built-in floppy/IDE/serial ports, so I can finally ditch my old multi I/O card. And a PS/2 Mouse Port!
