NOTE: You don't need 'moused' loaded in order to get mouse support in X. But since you mention 'moused', this message assumes that you want it to work, as well. First, a question: Do you get a mouse cursor that you can move around when you're in a virtual terminal? If X is running, hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 to return to the first virtual terminal. Move the mouse to see if it's working. If it is, great! All you need to do is configure your X server (described below.) If the mouse doesn't move, then you have to get 'moused' working first. Since 'moused' couldn't determine your mouse type, you'll have to specify it. Use the -t option to specify the type of mouse. Do a 'man moused' to see the various mouse protocols that are supported. If you have a MouseSystems mouse, be sure to also use the -D option. Before you can continue, you must get 'moused' to work. Other things to check: make sure you are specifying the correct device to which the mouse is connected (are you _sure_ it's on /dev/cuaa0 and not /dev/cuaa1 ?) Once you have 'moused' working, you have to change your mouse configuration in the /etc/XF86Config file: Section "Pointer" Protocol "MouseSystems" Device "/dev/sysmouse" ClearDTR EndSection It should work fine now. -- Rich ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rich Neswold | PGP: 0A C8 A5 76 DF 8E E1 B3 rneswold@mcs.net | F3 97 BE 73 DA CD 4B C9 http://www.mcs.net/~rneswold | To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
