First, check whether /dev/psm0 exists. If not, you need to create it with MAKEDEV: cd /dev ./MAKEDEV psm0 sysmouse If the device already exists (or creating it does not make the "device not configured" message go away), then you may not have the device enabled in your kernel configuration. Have you created a custom kernel? If so, did you perhaps trim out one or more of these lines? # atkbdc0 controls both the keyboard and the PS/2 mouse device atkbdc0 at isa? port IO_KBD device atkbd0 at atkbdc? irq 1 flags 0x1 device psm0 at atkbdc? irq 12 You must have the device configured in the kernel before things like moused(8) can use it. If you removed it from your kernel configuration, correct the mistake, build and install a new kernel from the corrected kernel config and try again. Note that there are several mouse-related issues covered in the X Windows / Virtual Consoles section of the FAQ: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/x.html Please send feedback on your progress to <freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org>. If your feedback involves more problems, try to provide more detail on error messages than you did in your first report (PR misc/33683). Ciao, Sheldon.
