Greetings to all: As the subject says, I am having a bit of problem with the mouse. I have been running FBSD 5.3 for about 2 weeks, X was working wonderfully, I even manage to get my ports upgraded using CTM, happiness was everywhere. Then came the moment to enable the sound system, I have an nforce chip. I went to /boot/kernel to see anything related to nforce but there was noting. Then, following the Handbook, I tried kldload snd_pcm but no sound still, tried kldload sbd_driver but still nothing. Tired of trying and reaching no positive results I went to bed, the next time I booted FBSD the mouse was gone. My /etc/rc.conf and /etc/X11/xorg.conf looks as follow: /etc/rc.conf # Enable network daemons for user convenience. # Please make all changes to this file, not to /etc/defaults/rc.conf. # This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf. hostname="athena" ifconfig_dc0="DHCP" sshd_enable="YES" usbd_enable="YES" linux_enable="YES" /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "InputDevice" # Identifier and driver Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "Auto" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" I ran /etc/rc.d/moused start and it gave no error message, not even an echo saying it was starting moused. Then I looked for sysmouse with: find / -name sysmouse -print but the only result I got was /dev/sysmouse (because it is supposed to be there); however, when I did an ls /dev sysmouse wasn't there, I tried ls -a but nothing. Any help regarding this will be appreciated. I was really having fun with FBSD until this little mouse incident and I don't want to redo the installation and upgrading of the ports. Have a nice day
