Hello all,
After a particularly bad move to my new apartment, resulting in a dead hard
disk and a reinstall, I decided to try Xfree 4.0.3 - since I've been wanting
to try a dual monitor setup (and at this point, have nothing to lose).
All is fine and well graphically, but the mouse is exhibiting the signs of a
conflict with moused (the cursor slides across the top of the screen). In
XFree86 3.x, this was easily solved - but the same solution no longer works.
I currently am running FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE, with a Microsoft Intellimouse
attached to the PS/2 port. Moused is running with the flags "-p /dev/psm0 -t
auto -z 4", and my XF86Config file (excerpting the mouse section) is:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "MouseSystems"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4,5"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
EndSection
For completeness, the video board is an ATI Xpert@play with 8Mb of SGRAM.
It's configuration is:
Section "Device"
### Available Driver options are:-
Option "accel"
Option "crt_screen"
Option "composite_sync"
Option "linear"
Option "mmio_cache"
#Option "probe_clocks"
#Option "reference_clock"
#Option "shadow_fb"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "ati"
VendorName "ATI"
BoardName "Mach64 GP"
ChipSet "ati"
ChipId 0x4750
ChipRev 0x5c
BusID "PCI:0:15:0"
EndSection
I have tried every protocol (in XF86Config) that seemed to match, including
"MouseSystems" "Auto" "Microsoft" "Intellimouse". I also tried attaching it
directly to /dev/psm0 - but as long as moused is running, the mouse doesn't
work correctly in X.
Oddly enough, the mouse works fine for moused, but when I kill moused - the
mouse refuses to work in X at all - not even the screwy movement across the
top of the screen. I figure that may be due to locking though.
I have looked in the mailing list, and found that this is not the first time
someone has run across this problem. I was hoping someone had found a
solution since March.
Thanks,
Seth Henry
