Subject: 2.1.0 serial mice -- wauugh!
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org
Precedence: bulk

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!

Potentially useful details follow:
