Hi everyone, I'm having troubles configuring my mouse for the X server. So, here's my story. I have a PIII 950MHz box with 128MB RAM. I have Windows98 on it and right now I'm turning it to dual boot with FreeBSD 4.7-Release being the second o.s. The installation itself went easy but setting up the X server has been terrible. Am I the only person who thinks this is a very tiresome and user-unfriendly procedure? Anyway, after downloading my monitor's technical specifications, studying about installing the X etc. I managed to get the X running. Almost! My mouse won't work properly. I have a very ordinary PS/2, 3-buttons mouse but I have tried others, too (one with 2 buttons, one with a scroll button). Nothing seems to work. The pointer sticks to the right upper corner and just goes nuts with continuous clicks. For the X server configuration I use xf86config (even though, I gave the graphical tool a chance, too). I choose /dev/sysmouse as my mouse device and I've tried different protocols like PS/2, Microsoft compatible, Mouse Systems (3-button protocol) etc. Nothing works :~( So, what am I doing so wrong? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance, Dimitris ------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.mail.gr/ - Get Your Private Free Email Address! http://www.ringtone.gr/ - Ringtones & Logos for your mobile!
