Hello, I'm having trouble configuring Xorg on my Core 2 Duo Apple MacBook. I have followed instructions from a blog at http://goddess-gate.com/dc2/index.php/post/251 in installing Freebsd7.0 Release on it, and configuring X. I am using the xf86-video-intel driver instead of the original i810, and X starts alright. Unfortunately, the trackpad doesn't work. Neither does an external USB mouse. I have referred to the following instructions (excerpted from the blog above) in configuring X, but to no avail. > > Mouse setup > > You will have to use "Auto" mouse protocol. As the trackpad doesn't work > well (instable mouse pointer, absolute positionning between display and > trackpad surface), you have to use an USB mouse. > When you're asked if you want to emulate 3 buttons, answer "n". > When you're asked which device to use, you may have to answer "/dev/ums0". > Adapt to your real needs. > Could someone please help me out with the trackpad/mouse for my Macbook? thanks. regards,
