Instead of their win98 .. So I rode lots of docs about freebsd (specialy handbook, faq, beginners), downloaded iso images of the 5.1release and started the install from cd. Everythings were almost nice the first time (with learning, reading, understanding behind) so far I tried to add wheel mouse to my configuration. It was a bad idea because the next time I started freebsd my rc.conf had a bad character (eof instead of backquote or whatever) on the 1456 th line (of a 1455 lines file). Maybee because I made change with abiword ... Before that time I had been able to set up a good configuration for my ps2 mouse and it worked fine inside kde and even in console mode. Unable to make a new rc.conf from the bad one I made a new install of freebsd but probably not the good one as my kde taskbar don't have anymore direct to shell button. (I will have a look at that later). The main trouble I have now is to stop stupid behavior of my mouse : as soon I move it too fast or move a couple pixels to left it refuges itself on left edge of the screen. Tried to control that from kde but did not get any amelioration. Kde mouse is set to sysmouse so I would like to get a correct mouse behavior from sysinstall test mouse dialog. The best thing I can get now is with Microsoft IntelliMouse but pointer still go as quick as possible to left side of the screen, whichever protocol I use. I tried many ways to come back the first time I setted, tried to remember the good words to ask google but at least get exausted : how to configure freebsd mouse focus (to the macos one) in console mode ? "auto" give me the worse : each move of the mouse act as accept (or refuse ?) sysinstall dialog "Is the mouse cursor moving" Hopefully Laurent Demaret -- laurent.demaret@freeNoSpam.frhelp
