if you are starting the mouse daemon before you get to X then the mouse is at /dev/sysmouse i found that the best way to set up an IntelliMouse with X is to say the following: Section "InputDevice" # Identifier and driver Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "Auto" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "Buttons" "5" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection the above makes the mouse wheel work as well. arz@iastate.edu> wrote: > I tried to hook a PS/2 mouse (IntelliMouse) to my > FreeBSD box and I couldn't > make it work with X 4.0.2.
