Greetings, I've just done a new install of FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE on a friend's machine. problem is that the mouse just stopped working. No reason, no errors, it just stopped initializing in the kernel. Machine: AT style Pentium Mouse: Logitech MouseMan and IBM MouseMan+ clone When I attempt to initialize either X or moused on /dev/psm0 I get "device not configured". Looking in /var/log/messages shows me the last time that it worked successfully, two days ago. I checked all the cabling and it is all secure and plugged in. The PS/2 Mouse function is enabled in the kernel as well. It's as if the computer just forgot it has a mouse. Any pointers as to where to look? I checked the kernel config (kernel -c on boot) and it showed psm0 on irq12, just like the BIOS had it. As far as I can tell, this mouse should be working just fine, it just isn't...
