I recently upgraded to X 4.0.2 and encountered the same problem others have with using moused and /dev/sysmouse in X. Apparantly, something changed in 4.0.2 that broke the previously working mouse driver configuration. Previously, I used this in my mouse definition section of XF86Config: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "SysMouse" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "Buttons" "5" EndSection Other messages have mentioned that you can fix the problems by changing "SysMouse" to "MouseSystems". However, this is not very satisfactory, as you lose the wheel buttons. I found that changing "SysMouse" to "Auto" allows X to correctly detect the mouse protocol and also detect the wheel buttons. I hope this helps others who are upgrading to XF86 4.0.2. /Joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
