next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I'm trying to install my mouse for FreeBSD 2.1.0 and X86312.
# cat</dev/ttyd0
Wiggle the mouse, click the buttons... no response. Ditto for ttyd1. Both
the mouse and the serial ports worked fine under DOS, so I don't suspect
hardware problems.
I've tried, as suggested in messages to freebsd-questions and freebsd-bugs
I found by searching for "mouse";
# ln -sf /dev/cuaa0 /dev/mouse
... then configuring X to use /dev/mouse. This is also done by
/stand/sysinstall when asked to configure the mouse. Either way, it
doesn't work.
None of the fifteen or so items I found in the mailing list archives were
helpful; all but a couple were from similarly frustrated people unable to
get their mice working. The X86312 README suggests catting from
/dev/tty00, not present in 2.1.0. The handbook has nothing.
This is frustrating. As far as I can tell, it SHOULD work. Can anyone
point me to where the problem is, or what other tests I should run to
figure out what's going wrong? Even two-line rough suggestions will help,
and I'll make a FAQ submission if I ever get it straightened out so that
you never have to answer again.
Help!
