I am having difficulty having my system recognize both the PS/2 and serial port mouse while trying to configure X Windows from the 2.1.7 release CD. I have tried installing both consoles in my configuration file. device sc0 at isa? port ``IO_KBD' tty irq 1 vector scintr and device vt0 at isa? port ``IO_KBD'' tty irq 1 vector pcrint options ``PCVT_FREEBSD=210'' options XSERVER I have configured my kernel to use sio1, sio2 and psm0 with no and they are found during the boot process. The motherboard will not let me change the IRQs for these devices but they are not causing a conflict with any other device. device sio0 at isa? port ``IO_COM1'' tty irq 4 vector siointr device sio0 at isa? port ``IO_COM2'' tty irq 3 vector siointr device psm0 at isa? port ``IO_KBD'' conflicts tty irq 12 vector psmintr I am able to enter the full graphics mode to configure XFREE86 but the mouse pointer will not move no matter which protocol or device I use. I have selected every possible combination I can think of and apply the change. The mouse pointer just doesn't move. I have also tried different PS/2 and serial mice. I have also used /stand/sysinstall to change the mouse back and forth from ps2 and com1. I do not know what effect this has on the system. ( I think it saves these setting in the con fig file and kernel ??) If there is something I am missing please let me know. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
