I assume you run moused(8) with something like moused_flags="-p /dev/psm0 -t auto" in your /etc/rc.conf . If so, does the mouse work on the console? If not, you might want to read psm(4). I had to add hint.psm.0.flags="0x100" to /boot/device.hints . Note that this is not availeable in FreeBSD 4.x but instead you will need to add those flags to your kernel config. Find a line that says device psm0 at atkbdc? irq 12 and make it device psm0 at atkbdc? irq 12 flags 0x100 Hope this helps, it worked for me. Regards, Phil.
