That's not X... Let's take it from the beginning. As root, on the console, do: killall moused vidcontrol -m on moused -df -t auto -p /dev/psm0 This should give you a pointer and lots of debug output. The pointer should move as you move the mouse. If that does not work, and the mouse is plugged in (should be plugged in at boot time), then I don't know what's wrong. If it does work (and you want to continue using the mouse daemon), put moused_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf to start it at next boot. The defaults should be ok for a PS/2 mouse, so remove any other lines that begin with "moused". To start moused without rebooting, repeat the moused line above, but without "-df". >- When running startx or xinit, I get in /var/log/XFree86.0.log: >(EE) VGA(0): No Display subsection in Screen section "Screen 1" for >depth/fbbpp 4/4 >(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. >Fatal server error: >no screens found >I have tried numerous combinations, again to no avail, using xf86config >utility and manual editing. Try "X -configure". That should write a config file, with correct information on you hardware (if the server reconizes it). You may have to enter information on your monitor, though (horizontal and vertical frequencies), or the server won't find any screen configurations it can use. For the mouse, use: Option "Protocol" "Auto" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" $.02, /Mikko -- Mikko Työläjärvi_______________________________________mikko@rsasecurity.com RSA Security To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
