The following reply was made to PR ports/167654; it has been noted by GNATS. From: ports-xf86-mouse@oldach.net (Helge Oldach) To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, rfg@tristatelogic.com Cc: Subject: Re: ports/167654: x11-wm/twm - no mouse cursor Date: Mon, 21 May 2012 12:42:01 +0200 (CEST) Hello, I happen to observe similar things. I have both a USB mouse and a PS/2 mouse, and for the USB mouse /dev/sysmouse ist automatically created by moused. (Note that this ums-moused-autostart logic has been deployed rather recently with the /etc/devd.conf update of November 2011.) Although my xorg.conf explicitly specifies /dev/mouse (which points to the PS/2 mouse) as my pointer device, the X server actually attaches to /dev/sysmouse, rendering /dev/mouse unused. Since in my case the USB mouse does not exist physically (it is on a Microsoft Bluetooth dongle), I have no X pointer. I dug a while in the xf86-mouse sources - it appears that /dev/sysmouse is actually being preferred in any case. Stopping moused makes my normal PS/2 pointer reappear. Helge
