If /etc/defaults/rc.conf says >moused_enable="YES", add a line to /etc/rc.conf that says >moused_enable="NO" (removing any other moused_enable line). Yes this step worked fine. I also commented out any lines in /etc/rc.conf that had to do with moused >Don't forget to reconfigure the xserver so it doesn't use sysmouse, or >you won't have a working pointer in X. I wasn't sure what to do here. I edited /etc/XF86Config and I changed the bit that said /dev/sysmouse to /dev/mouse Then when I rebooted and started X, the console mouse was turned off (good), but I had no mouse in X (bad). Can anyone tell me what needs to be done to get mouse working under X (not using sysmouse). Thanks very much for any help.
