Hi,
I've been using FreeBSD for some time now, and quite happily so.
However, there's one thing that really bothers me: I can't get my
mouse to behave under X. The symptoms are: LOTS of <psmintr out
of sync> messages and unpredictable pointer behaviour (pointer
moving randomly and apps receiving 'phantom' mouse-clicks).
I'm not using moused and the pointer section in my XF86Config
looks like this (excluding comments):
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "PS/2"
Device "/dev/psm0"
(BTW: I've tried Protocol "Auto" as well).
Now, from reading the handbook, the FAQ and this mailing-list,
I've learned that most people's mouse-problems disappear by setting
one or more device flags (0x04, 0x100 and/or 0x8000, recalling from
bio-RAM). Not for me, though :(
It's probably not my mouse (a SafeWay 3 button PS/2 model) that
causes the trouble, as I've tried another one with the same results
AND this one works properly under M$ Windoze. It MAY be my computer
(an IBM PC Server 310), considering that IBM hardware tends to be
'non-conformist'. I don't know. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
