If you use moused, your mouse device in X should be /dev/sysmouse If you're not using moused, X can connect to /dev/psm0, but both can't connect to /dev/psmo > i need to add > AllowMouseOpenFail to startx and neither works mouse. why change > for bypass kernel mouse code device port? there are other ways > to bypass?(!?) Just disable moused and configure X to use /dev/psm0, or enable moused and configure X to use /dev/sysmouse. Other combinations probably won't work. -- Bill Moran Potential Technology http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
