I assume that this is what is in the Pointer Section of
/etc/XF86Config:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "microsoft"
Device "/dev/psm0"
If you specified /dev/mouse, you can make a link to it. Is the psm
device showing up at boot? You can check this with :
branson@garion >dmesg | grep psm
and you should see:
psm0 at 0x60-0x63 irq 12 on motherboard
If you have both of these correct, you might want to look at the
options in the kernel:
# Options for psm:
options PSM_NO_RESET
> What books would be best to use for managing this system ?
Definiately look at Installing and Running FreeBSD, call Walnut Creek
and ask them for a copy as they are the publisher.
