I have a FreeBSD 2.2.5 mouse problem. I had the same problem in 2.2.2, and
solved it with a reinstall. I would prefer not to do that this time--it is
so inelegant a solution! I have a 3-button mouse on /cuaa1/sio1/COM2 (the
mouse is switchable between 2- and 3-button settings, and, yes, _is_ set
to 3 buttons).
I have /etc/XF86Config set as
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "MouseSystems"
Device "/dev/sysmouse"
, which I understand is appropriate and correct. [Using anything but
/dev/sysmouse here causes the machine to lock up and crash. I have to
either control-alt-delete or push the reset button, which is not cool.]
I have tried /etc/rc.conf in the following settings, to no effect:
moused_type="NO"
mouse_port=""
moused_flags=""
and
moused_type="mousesystems"
mouse_port="/dev/cuaa1"
moused_flags=""
I think that my problem is elsewhere; I have tried all kinds of different
values in /etc/XF86Config and /etc/rc.conf, and also
vidcontrol -m on
and...no mouse movement. It is like the night before Christmas in X.
X will start up this way....It opens, and the cursor just sits, dead in
the water. Ugh.
Can anyone suggest another file that might be missing or malconfigured?
