I'm back with an Xorg config question - but in this case, it does apply specifically to FreeBSD. I have one of those new wireless keyboards - you all know that little hardware company in Redmond that thinks it can write software too? Well, this is the "Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop" (Pro). And the keyboard works great (mostly), but I can't seem to get the mouse working. I am running FreeBSD 5.3 RELEASE-p3 and Xorg 6.8.2. I have tried all the configs recommended by /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.mouse, which mentions this mouse specifically (the IntelliMouse Explorer). What that doc says, is: To use this mouse as the PS/2 device and the OS supports PS/2 mouse initialization: Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" But that doesn't work, so I assume PS/2 initialization is not supported . .= . It also says: To use this mouse as the USB device and the OS supports the generic HID protocol: Option "Protocol" "usb" To use this mouse as the USB device and the OS supports automatic mouse detection: Option "Protocol" "Auto" Now, I am pretty sure - but I could be wrong - that FreeBSD DOES support automatic mouse detection, but I don't know if it supports the HID protocol. Either way, neither option works. The mouse in question is pretty reliably routed to /dev/ums1 and is detected correctly in /var/log/messages: Mar 23 19:24:48 keyslapper kernel: ums1: Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optic= al Desktop=AE 1.00, rev 2.00/73.73, addr 3, iclass 3/1 Mar 23 19:24:48 keyslapper kernel: ums1: 5 buttons I have turned off the automatic moused spawn by usbd, because I also have a trackball that is used from /dev/usm0 - and it works perfectly. This is the current mouse config from /etc/X11R6/xorg.conf: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse" Driver "mouse" # Option "Protocol" "Auto" Option "Protocol" "usb" Option "Device" "/dev/ums1" Option "Buttons" "7" Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7" EndSection I have tried Auto and usb as the protocol, neither work. This is the mouse with the wheel that is also supposed to shift left or right for whatever reason and the two extra small thumb buttons on the left, but I'll be happy with getting just the regular 3 buttons working. Google has turned up no detail on this keyboard/mouse combo and Xorg configuration. Anyone have any idea? If you have this working, I'd be grateful for a mouse config section, and if you are able to get all the "special" keys working, I'd be interested in what you did to get them recognized - xev doesn't seem to get signals from them.
