Kukulies" Subject: X W32p and PS/2 woes To: freebsd-questions@freefall.FreeBSD.org Message-id: <199605131512.RAA27454@gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de> Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I came to a machine to do a fresh 0501-SNAP install. Everything went smooth -despite that the domainname is not extracted into the hostname= in /etc/sysconfig. When it came to X installation failed again miserably since XFree86 cannot cope obviously with a certain brand of W32p PCI cards. Black screen, power cycling req'd. I resorted to Xaccel 1.3 which I really can heartily recommend. This works fine despite that no mouse was found. I asked the guy who assembled the machine and he told me it was a PS/2 mouse. Bullet shaped LOGITECH mouse with a cable leading into a backplane sheet with plug. I assume it leads to a direct Motherboard connection. GENERIC kernel wasn't built for PS/2 mouse so I built a new one. Unfortunately the mouse still doesn't get probed. I'm lost at the moment without further help. --Chris Christoph P. U.
