I've a dual boot machine, which was running FreeBSD-5.4 (now 6.0p1) and WinXP. It has a cheap PS/2 mouse (Biswal is the brand, but I guess it's just a generic mouse, details at the bottom). In Windows it works flawlessly ... wheel included. It's been running for months. In FreeBSD it never worked. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong ... this machine is the first box in which I installed 5.x so perhaps there are some configuration differences from 4.x tham I'm unaware of? Any help would be appreciated (of course I can go buy another cheap mouse ... but I'm intrigued now). The details: dmesg says: psm0: irq 12 on atkbdc0 psm0: [GIANT LOCKED] psm0: model Intellimouse, device ID 3 moused says: moused -i all -p /dev/psm0 /dev/psm0 ps/2 sysmouse Intellimouse I've tried to run 'vidcontrol -m on' and then 'moused -p /dev/psm0 -t auto/sysmouse' and I never get an arrow on the screen. I've got X installed with gnome and when booting I always get a black arrow in the xdm login screen that I cannot move with the mouse. I also tried to tweak my Xorg.conf file to no avail. My custom kernel has the following (I quote what I guess it's relevant, do ask for more detail if neccessary): device atkbdc device atkbd device psm I just cvsuped against RELENG_6_0 and rebuilt the world and kernel. All the base system is now 6.0p1, and now I need to rebuild all ports ... but apart from that the mouse is still dead on FreeBSD. Again thanks for any help, fernan
