Has anyone had success or experience with this configuration:
Kensington Expert Mouse trackball
Belkin OmniCube Keyboard-Video-Mouse (KVM) Switch
FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE
moused -p /dev/psm0 -t auto
XFree86 3.3.6
(**) Mouse: type: SysMouse, device: /dev/sysmouse, buttons: 4
Enlightenment with gnome-session
Issue:
System A is FreeBSD as described
System B is Windows 98
System D is FreeBSD 3.2 ipfw w/ natd
After switch away from System A and back, trackball loses sync with
device driver(?), and trackball roll generates mouse-button-click on
root window. Must reboot to "re-sync".
Also, on boot, kernel identifies "psm0: model ThinkingMouse", but
using moused on vty1 (F1) before startx, trackball-roll also initiates
copy/paste mouse-button-click behavior (i.e. does not behave similar
to Logitech MouseMan+ Wheel Mouse).
I understand that "/kernel: psmintr: out of sync (0000 != 0080)" may
be in the current GNATS bug database. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Here are my messages and configuration:
grep -i psm /var/log/messages:
Mar 3 01:54:58 squishy /kernel: psm0 irq 12 on isa
Mar 3 01:54:59 squishy /kernel: psm0: model ThinkingMouse, device ID 0
Mar 3 20:09:23 squishy /kernel: psmintr: out of sync (0000 != 0080).
from /etc/XFConfig:
#Kensington ExpertMouse ThinkingMouse
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "SysMouse" # recommended by FreeBSD
Device "/dev/sysmouse" # recommended by FreeBSD
Buttons 4
EndSection
On an unrelated tangent, this hardware setup works well with my
Logitech MouseMan+ Wheel Mouse:
From /etc/XFConfig:
Section "Pointer"
### /dev/psm0 ps/2 sysmouse MouseMan+
## Protocol "MouseManPlusPS/2" # recommended by Enlightenment
# Protocol "IntelliMouse" # only for serial mouse
# Protocol "Auto" # this worked
Protocol "SysMouse" # recommended by FreeBSD
## Device "/dev/psm0"
Device "/dev/sysmouse" # recommended by FreeBSD
ZAxisMapping 4 5
# Resolution 200
Buttons 5
EndSection
BTW, no, I don't use both Pointer configs at the same time.
