How do I go about enabling the mouse daemon? And yes, I have tried the set up. It doesn't work. I have tried > Xorgcfg and Xorgconfig. They don't work. Note: the mouse protocols will work for Linux distributions. You first have to start moused, the default xorg configuration will usually work after that. For a PS/2 mouse: moused -t auto -p /dev/psm0 For a USB mouse: moused -t auto -p /dev/ums0 You probably want to start moused automatically when FreeBSD boots, add this line to /etc/rc.conf: For a PS/2 mouse moused_enabled="yes" For a USB mouse moused_enabled="yes" moused_port="/dev/ums0" You may also want to take a look at the moused and/or ums manpages: man 8 moused man 4 ums
