Try adding moused_enable="YES" and moused_port="/dev/ams0" to /etc/rc.conf? -Nathan On 11/23/20 2:46 PM, Omar Willey wrote: > On Nov 21, 2020, at 4:00 AM, Brandon Bergren <bdragon@FreeBSD.org> wrote: >> >> On Thu, Nov 19, 2020, at 1:30 AM, Omar Willey wrote: >>> Hi, >>> >>> I'm coming back to FreeBSD after a long, long absence and I've made it a >>> project to revive this PowerBook g4 aluminum 12" 640MB/867gHz with FreeBSD >>> 12.2 >> Do you have the specific model number handy? > Yes, this is a PowerBook 6,1 Model A1010/1931, or M8760LL/A if you prefer. PowerPC 7455 processor with the NVIDIA GeForce4 420 Go video card. I already had to struggle with the rubbish Nvidia graphics, and created a /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/driver-nvidia.conf just to get X11 visible. > >>> I've managed to get X working with a window manager and file manager for a >>> minimal desktop but I cannot get the touchpad to work in X at all. >>> >>> I first tried loading the wsp(4) driver as a module in /boot/loader.conf, >>> then tried the older atp(4) separately, but the device isn't binding to >>> /dev/atp0. >> These are for trackpads connected over internal USB, which were only on later PowerBook G4s and newer machines.

I’ve rebuilt the kernel to ensure the old adb driver is present.
