Howdy.
I just installed FreeBSD 2.0 last night and had a question about mouse support.
When I tried kicking off X via startx, it complained about /dev/mouse not being
configured.
Do I need to rebuild the kernel for this one? If so, (heck, even if not), could
you just give a really quick overview on this. I'm pretty sure that I know what
to do but I've never done it.
Is it basically:
1) Modify a COPY of one of the existing config files(GENERIC, etc.).
2) config new file
3) go up a directory or two (to force libkern to be built) and doing
make depend and then make?
4) Move the old /kernel to something like /kernel.old and the new one
to /kernel.
5) Reboot.
??
2.0 seems to have a lot of thought behind it (the installation was great --
although it hung during the extraction of X -- also, I can't seem to be able to
just rerun /sbin/sys_install without having to respecify new mount points etc.
I ended up just copying the X directory hierarchy from /file_sys/usr/X11R6 off
the CD)
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a ton for a brilliant
alternative!
