I have had a following problem with FreeBSD:
After the instalation my FreeBSD worked fine (the installation was
easy, quite unlike some Linux systems) with one exception: it didn't
see my mouse. I mean: no mouse cursor appeared when I moved the
mouse, the X-server didn't detect my mouse either, so I coudn't run
it. I'm not sure, what is wrong: I've installed FreeBSD on three
different computers, with three different mice, but the results were
the same. I didn't even get any error message. Problem with mouse
is the main reason why I use Linux (although I like FreeBSD much
more). My mice mork with Linux.
I've been thinking about solving this problem. I've got two ideas:
(1) no mouse daemon (like Linux's GPM, shuld I install it?); (2)
something wrong with the device files; (3) bad address or IRQ no. of
my serial ports (this is the least likely, as I remember, these were
set correctly). I didn't try to check above possibilities, as I'm not
eager to destroy my working Linux system. I prefer to ask experts
first.
