Do you want to try again.` If I had to guess, you were probably running XFree86 3.3.6 before, and as part of the upgrade to 4.6.2, XFree86 4.2 got installed. In that case, I think your /etc/XF86Config file would be preserved, although it may now contain some incompatible syntax with XFree86 4.2. If I'm right so far, I recommendation this: 0. Back up your /etc/XF86Config file. 1. Try moving it out of the way and using the new "xf86cfg" utility create a new compatible file from scratch, using the old file as a reference as needed. Below are some diffs between my own and new config files, illustrating some changes with how keyboards and mice are declared, and how some keys are mapped. -mark http://mark.stosberg.com/ ###### 40,62c48,70 < Section "Keyboard" < Protocol "Standard" < AutoRepeat 500 30 < # LeftAlt Meta < # RightAlt Meta < # ScrollLock Compose < # RightCtl Control < XkbKeycodes "xfree86" < XkbTypes "default" < XkbCompat "default" < XkbSymbols "us(pc101)" < XkbGeometry "pc" < XkbKeymap "xfree86(us)" < XkbRules "xfree86" < EndSection < < Section "Pointer" < Protocol "PS/2" < Device "/dev/mouse" < BaudRate 1200 < Emulate3Timeout 50 < Resolution 100 < Emulate3Buttons --- > Section "InputDevice" > Identifier "Keyboard 1" > Driver "keyboard" > Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30" > Option "XkbModel" "pc101" > Option "XkbLayout" "us" > Option "Protocol" "Standard" > Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" > Option "XkbOptions" "altwin:meta_win" > # Option "LeftAlt" "Meta" > # Option "RightAlt" "Meta" > Option "ScrollLock" "Compose" > Option "RightCtl" "Control" > EndSection > > Section "InputDevice" > Identifier "Mouse 1" > Driver "mouse" > Option "Protocol" "PS/2" > Option "Device" "/dev/psm0" > Option "BaudRate" "120" > Option "Resolution" "100" > Option "Emulate3Buttons" 95,97d95 < # BlankTime 0 < # SuspendTime 0 < # OffTime 0 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
