Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi there, I was running 4.0-RELEASE and just upgraded to 4.1-STABLE. Unfortunately, the mouse no longer works. The only way I can now get the mouse to work with X windows is to first enter /stand/sysinstall each time I start the computer and configure the mouse there. Surely there is a better way than this...I would appreciate any advice here. Let me give you some background information: I have a ps/2 mouse. A "dmesg" command reveals that support for it (/dev/psm0) is indeed in the kernel. To upgrade, I did the following: I was running 4.0-RELEASE. I used CVSup and a stable-supfile to download the source for 4.1 STABLE. After this, I backed up /etc I then did a make world as follows: #script /var/tmp/mw.out #make world I then did a "diff" on the files in /etc and /usr/src/etc and tried to merge any changes. (The changes were few and appeared to be minor). I then rebuilt the kernel. I did this by coping GENERIC to EMERALD (my machine name) and added the following for my DSL connection: optoins NETGRAPH options NETGRAPH_PPPOE options NETGRAPH_SOCKET I then did: #config EMERALD #cd ../..compile/EMERALD #make depend #make #make install and now, I am where I mentioned before, the mouse doesn't work in X, unless I first enter /stand/sysinstall and configure it there. I have to do this every time I reboot my computer. Any suggestions here would be most welcome, I am stumped...
