To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Sat, 19 Sep 1998 15:26:22 +0100 (BST) Cc: pgm@dns0.rotting.cheese.org X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL40 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi Please can anyone help me? I'm running XFree86 on a P100 with freebsd 2.2.7 and when I configure the mouse with /stand/sysinstall it works. But when I run X it stops working. Its a microsoft serial mouse on /dev/cuaa0 and killing moused doesn't help, I've removed /dev/mouse and /dev/sysmouse and recreated them linked to /dev/cuaa0 I've specified the list of serial mice in man XF86Config one after the other! in /etc/XF86Config nothing works the closest I get is with any serial mouse specified, after starting X the mouse moves from the centre of the screen to the bottom left hand corner and then never moves again, no matter what I do. Cheers I'd apreciate any pointers (no pun intended) patmac To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
