Not two cursors, but I can move one or the other mouse to move the cursor. Works both in "text mode" and in X. > Rc.conf: moused_enable="YES" > moused_port="/dev/ums0" That shouldn't be needed, because moused is invoked from devd with the correct device name. The device only needs to be specified (or should I say: "needed to be specified") for devices that are not "plug & play", such as serial ports, which could be attached to anything; for example a serial mouse needed the _port option to be set manually, whereas the PS/2 and USB usually don't. > #dbus_enable="YES" > #hald_enable="YES" Correct. :-) > The comment says I used moused_port to disable the touchpad but it does not do > that. I disable the touchpad by: "xinput set-prop 8 "Device Enabled" 0" I have switched off the touchpad in the BIOS, leaving only the TrackPoint (and possible external mice) active. > I did the auto xorg thing.

I could not pick out the mouse from "pciconf -lv" It isn't listed there. USB mice can be found in the output of dmesg and usbconfig, PS/2 mice only via dmesg (or system log file), serial mice not at all. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
