It's a ps/2 mouse. Configured by /stand/sysinstall. When I login as root the curser moves around when the mouse moves around. -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Thompson [mailto:ryan@sasknow.com] Sent: Friday, January 18, 2002 7:41 PM To: Joe & Fhe Barbish Cc: FBSD Questions Subject: RE: Using mouse on syscon?

Assuming you do actually have a working PS/2 mouse. When you move the mouse, does a mouse cursor appear when logged in to a local console? Is moused actually running? (ps -ax | grep moused) Also verify that /dev/psm0 exists (ls -l /dev/psm0). That, and you still haven't told us what kind of mouse you have, so I have absolutely no idea if /dev/psm0 is the right device for you. :-) - Ryan > When logged on as root and edit file with ee /var/log/ppp.log > the mouse will not cut or copy and past using the 2 button mouse. > I even entered vidcontrol -m on on the command line. > > There no error messages, it just will not work. The FAQ says it > should. Of course it "should", assuming your mouse is supported, and you're using the correct device, and the device exists, etc, etc. - Ryan -- Ryan Thompson <ryan@sasknow.com> Network Administrator, Accounts SaskNow Technologies - http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E - Saskatoon, SK - S7H 0W2 Tel: 306-664-3600 Fax: 306-664-1161 Saskatoon Toll-Free: 877-727-5669 (877-SASKNOW) North America To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
