This PR can be safely closed, I've answered this question and others like it on the sparc64 list many times now, and a quick search of the list for type5 mouse will bring up my posts containing a great wealth of information on how to get this working, both with and without moused. I'm not sure why you looked for "sunmouse" - I've only ever seen name this used by Linux. This is not a problem, and the term "lack of drivers" is incorrect. It feels like this is a recurring question on a weekly basis, I'd be more than willing to write a big ole document on the subject if someone wants to stick it into the handbook or FAQ or something to attempt to curb these and make this a little bit easier for new users. --- Eric Smith <arcain@yahoo.com> wrote: > > >Number: 91882 > >Category: sparc64 > >Synopsis: Ultra 10 mouse/keyboard > >Confidential: no > >Severity: serious > >Priority: medium > >Responsible: freebsd-sparc64 > >State: open > >Quarter: > >Keywords: > >Date-Required: > >Class: sw-bug > >Submitter-Id: current-users > >Arrival-Date: Mon Jan 16 20:40:10 GMT 2006 > >Closed-Date: > >Last-Modified: > >Originator: Eric Smith > >Release: 6.0 > >Organization: > >Environment: > >Description: > Installed FreeBSD on an Sun Ultra 10. > > The keyboard works fine in console, but I can't seem > to find a mouse driver that works.
