Hello everyone, For an unknown reason, my mouse lately has been hanging. It has hung with X11 running and without X11 running. To fix it, I get to a prompt (usually via Ctrl+Alt+F1 as it tends to happen primarily when in X) and, as root, I execute % kill mousedPID % moused -p /dev/psm0 % vidcontrol -m on and, if there is music playing, it slurs for several seconds when I initially move the mouse, and then it is back to working along with the mouse. If memory serves, this problem started occurring when I configured the mouse to use the scrollwheel. To do this, I followed the instructions per the FreeBSD FAQ. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/x.html#X-AND-WHEEL What the FAQ mentions is only related to X11. It has failed on me once when I booted up FBSD prior to any startx-type of command being run. I have been running the same version of 6.0-STABLE for over a month now and this proble= m has started noticeably occurring a couple of weeks ago. Does anyone have an= y ideas? Some additional pertinent information is below. Thank you to everyon= e who helps and has helped make FreeBSD a great community. > uname -a FreeBSD ast.home.iq 6.0-STABLE FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE #0: Sat Nov 5 21:29:34 EST 2005 root@ast.home.iq:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/IQKERNEL i386 > moused -p /dev/psm0 -i type sysmouse > cat /etc/rc.conf | grep moused moused_enable=3D"YES" moused_type=3D'auto' moused_port=3D'/dev/psm0' I wanted to mention here that when I change moused_type from auto to ps/2, it appears to behave more stable. However, in doing this, the scrollwheel ceases to work in X11. I wanted to also mention that I checked out the FAQ, Google, and the Handbook and came up empty with all of them .
