I mean it installed so = quickly I couldn't believe it had installed properly. When I rebooted I = was seriously exepecting alot of errors, but it ran just fine. As time = went on I kept reinstalling it and reinstalling apache, mysql, php, = etc.. just to get the hang of it. I am a huge fan of BSD now because its = so simple. So just 2 days ago I decided it was time to install the = latest release ( 5.2.1 I think.) So I got it installed and it all went = as expected, up until the mouse part. This is where I always run into = some problems, but with FreeBSD its like I am in a shoebox under 10 ft = of sand. I just can't seem to get it working! Its really disappointing = because I am so ready to throw my XP cd into a brick wall! Ok enough of = my ranting I suppose I will tell the poor soul reading this my specs. System is a HP Pavilion ze4430us Laptop AMD 2400XP Mobile 512 DDR 266 40 GB Drive ( 20GB For Windows / 10 For Media / 10 For FreeBSD) National Semiconducter On board 10/100 Network 802.11b/g On Board Wireless ( Not concerned bout that right now) Has a touchpad that I am not using at this point. Logitech MX700 Duo / USB I cannot get the mouse to work for nothing. I have plugged it into the = USB port, tried using the PS/2 pigtail deal, nothing. I have tried: moused -t auto -p /dev/sysmouse moused -t auto -p /dev/usm0 moused -t auto -p /dev/psm0 None returned Errors, None work. dmesg shows that the kernel recognizes = my Logitech receiver, keyboard, and mouse, but the mouse does not work = at all. Keyboard works but if I type fast then I get some weird stuff = going on. It seems like it throws out the character I typed half a = second ago out a again? I am getting discouraged again and I would = really like someones opinion on what I should do! I don't want to go out = and get another keyboard and mouse because this set is awesome, its just = BSD that don't like me. Sorry for a long post, but my blood pressure is = getting higher and higher with each failing attempt! mike toledorides.com
