I installed 6.0 BETA 1 yesterday via NFS from my local server. The installation went with no reportable problems. However, when I got to the post install configuration menu, I could not get the console mouse to work. It didn't show a pointer, even after I set the protocol (auto) and the type (PS2). After rebooting, I configured rc.conf by hand and set the mouse related entries, rebooted and the mouse works fine. I'm not sure where to go from here. This was on an IBM G40 laptop, on which I have installed 5.2 through 5.4 without a problem configuring the mouse for the console. -- Derek Tattersall | (Insert witty remark here) | dlt@mebtel.net | dtatters@gmail.com | dlt666@yahoo.com |
