Check if the built-in touchpad has been deactivated in the CMOS setup (sometimes possible). If it does not appear in dmesg as psm0, check if it _might_ be connected to USB internally, so ums0 should be visitble (and moused should be started fot it automatically). Also check if there is a hardware switch for deactivating the touchpad (probably not, but I don't know what hardware you're using). > A usb attached mouse works fine. Yes, because the USB subsystem can recognize it and will launch a moused instance automatically. With psm, it usually is not the case; you will have to specify at least the mouse port: moused_enable="YES" moused_port="/dev/psm0" moused_type="auto" The "auto" type should work fine, though. However, if you don't have a psm0 device, it won't help. :-( -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
