First, I'm working with a brand new amd64 install, so my etc is hopefully (and more properly, my rc.conf) up to date, it has a mouse_ports, but not a moused_flags at all, so you may be working witha customized etc ... no big surprise. I interpolated, tried your settings, on reboot I have no /dev/psm0 device. I looked at the psm man page, and I dolled up the /boot/loader.conf as instructed. on reboot, kenv reports what I would want to see, but still no /dev/psm0 (which is why, I suppose, I have only a single moused process running, the usbd.conf inspired one. That one, the mouse cursor still disappears the moment I touch the keyboard.. That info I did, I tried both with and without the atkbdc hint in the mail archives. I notice, btw, that the usb (ums0) gets probed by the kernel well, well before rc.conf gets asked about psm0 ... I bet that timing is something that, if I could change, might help things. I would like the psm to get started before the usb one. > > -- Brooks > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C & Java programming, FreeBSD, chuckr@chuckr.org | electronics, communications, and SF/Fantasy.
