Instead of their win98 .. So I rode lots of docs about freebsd (specialy handbook, faq,=20 beginners), downloaded iso images of the 5.1release and started the=20 install from cd. Everythings were almost nice the first time (with learning, reading,=20 understanding behind) so far I tried to add wheel mouse to my=20 configuration. It was a bad idea because the next time I started freebsd my rc.conf=20 had a bad character (eof instead of backquote or whatever) on the 1456=20= th line (of a 1455 lines file). Maybee because I made change with=20 abiword ... Before that time I had been able to set up a good configuration for my=20= 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=20 freebsd but probably not the good one as my kde taskbar don't have=20 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=20= soon I move it too fast or move a couple pixels to left it refuges=20 itself on left edge of the screen. Tried to control that from kde but=20 did not get any amelioration. Kde mouse is set to sysmouse so I would=20 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=20= still go as quick as possible to left side of the screen, whichever=20 protocol I use. I tried many ways to come back the first time I setted, tried to=20 remember the good words to ask google but at least get exausted : how=20 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=20 refuse ?) sysinstall dialog "Is the mouse cursor moving" Hopefully Laurent Demaret --=20 laurent.demaret@freeNoSpam.fr
