I've tried a number of different mice (Logitech 3-button, Microsoft, Compaq), all of which have worked under Linux and OpenBSD, but which have never been detected by FreeBSD. Even thought the GENERIC kernel is supposed to support the ps/2 mouse, I went ahead and recompiled the kernel under 2.2.8, but it still refused to see it. During the boot process I've also gone in UserConfig mode to specify different io ports... Still no luck. I'm going to try to recompile the kernel under 3.1 tonight and give it another go. I would really like to give up on Linux and switch over to FreeBSD but I have no free serial ports and can't exactly do much without a mouse. The computer is a Compaq Presario 2200, with a Cyrix MediaGX processor and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
