I have a Mumbleco bus mouse. Is it supported and if so, how do I set it up for XFree86? FreeBSD supports the Logitech and ATI Inport bus mice. You need to add the following line to the kernel config file and recompile for the Logitech and ATI mice: device mse0 at isa? port 0x23c tty irq5 vector mseintr Just what exactly is the path and name of the kernel config file? Where can I find the explanation of the above device specification line? Is the "?" really supposed to be in the device spec? How exactly do I recompile the kernel? Do I need to load additional files from the CDROM in order to complete this action? And, NO, I am not stupid, merely ignorant of the finer details of unix.
