Hi, I'm getting the message, "Fatal Server Error: Cannot open mouse (device not configured)". I have a PS2 mouse that worked just fine before. I understand what's involved in getting it to work... I know how to include psm0 in the kernel (and exclude the other choice). I know how to MAKEDEV psm0 in /dev. I know how to select that mouse during the install (and I did all these things). I know how to run /stand/sysinstall and configure X86... I chose /dev/psm0, I chose "use META characters" (so i could emulate a 3 button mouse). Again I had this all working before. Other facts. I had FreeBSD running just fine on a tiny little IDE drive, but ever since I installed a fast/wide, new, improved, huge SCSI disk, and 4X SCSI CD-ROM, I've been having lots of problems. I managed to resolve all of them, *except* that I can no longer run X86Windows (forgive me I don't remember what you call it). Before the SCSI stuff I had it running, and I configured both twm and fvwm to work. I set things in the BIOS both on and off. I tried NumLock both ways (after reading the FAQ). I turned off IDE in the BIOS. I have installed all this at least 20 times (due to HW configuring problems). I don't know where to turn next. Please Help!
