In localhost.freebsd.questions you write: >Hi, > I am trying to install FreeBSD on a pentium 200 Mhz m/c with adaptec >SCSI drive (2940 narrow) and a PS /2 mouse.

I would be much obliged if you could tell me >how to get this OS working with X-Windows. I'm wondering if it's configured to be active in the kernel. At the boot prompt (the one that has the "to boot SCSI device" stuff), type -c to configure, and make sure that the mouse is in the active part, and is not inactivated (use visual mode for best results). I had this happen to me when I was trying to install a PS/2 mouse on a 2.1.5 machine recently, and this was the fix. I didn't even have to recompile the kernel. :) >Thank you >Paul Abraham >I prefer to be contacted at mullap@vax1.mankato.msus.edu -- bryan k ogawa <bkogawa@primenet.com> http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/
