I went this route because I had a ready XF86Config file for Xfree86 4.x, and the LCD was having issues during configuration. Graphically, X 4.x works great. Unfortunately, the mouse doesn't seem to work right. It is a PS/2 mouse, and it works fine in gpm mode, but the mouse buttons don't register quite often in X. For example, it might take several clicks before the WM does anything. I have verified that this is specific to FreeBSD and Xfree86 4.x (the mouse worked properly under Xfree86 3.x - but the display didn't). I checked to make sure it wasn't a WM problem (by loading a program directly through xinit) I've also verified that the mouse clicks actually don't register - I have waited up to 10 minutes with no response. Does anyone know what might be causing this, and how to fix it? The graphics chip is a Trident Cyberblade display controller, and the mouse is an ordinary MS compatible PS/2 mouse. I can forward the XF86Config, but I'm not sure how helpful it will be - the mouse section is pretty standard. On another note, is it possible to extract a working mode line from a working Xfree86 4.x installation for use in an Xfree86 3.x installation? The display "works" under 3.x, but it is messed up due to a misconfiguration. Unfortunately, I don't know how to configure the LCD using the X configuration tool. All attempts so far have failed. I was hoping I might be able to extract enough info from the 4.x install to figure it out.

Hello all,

I recently installed FreeBSD 4.5-REL on a Compaq IA-1 internet appliance with Xfree86 4.1 from the ports list. I went this route because I had a ready XF86Config file for Xfree86 4.x, and the LCD was having issues during configuration.

Graphically, X 4.x works great. Unfortunately, the mouse doesn’t seem to work right. It is a PS/2 mouse, and it works fine in gpm mode, but the mouse buttons don’t register quite often in X. For example, it might take several clicks before the WM does anything. I have verified that this is specific to FreeBSD and Xfree86 4.x (the mouse worked properly under Xfree86 3.x – but the display didn’t). I checked to make sure it wasn’t a WM problem (by loading a program directly through xinit) I’ve also verified that the mouse clicks actually don’t register – I have waited up to 10 minutes with no response.

Does anyone know what might be causing this, and how to fix it?

The graphics chip is a Trident Cyberblade display controller, and the mouse is an ordinary MS compatible PS/2 mouse. I can forward the XF86Config, but I’m not sure how helpful it will be – the mouse section is pretty standard.

On another note, is it possible to extract a working mode line from a working Xfree86 4.x installation for use in an Xfree86 3.x installation? The display “works” under 3.x, but it is messed up due to a misconfiguration. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to configure the LCD using the X configuration tool. All attempts so far have failed.
