Howdy. I just installed FreeBSD 2.0 last night and had a question about mouse support. When I tried kicking off X via startx, it complained about /dev/mouse not being configured. Do I need to rebuild the kernel for this one? If so, (heck, even if not), could you just give a really quick overview on this. I'm pretty sure that I know what to do but I've never done it. Is it basically: 1) Modify a COPY of one of the existing config files(GENERIC, etc.). 2) config new file 3) go up a directory or two (to force libkern to be built) and doing make depend and then make? 4) Move the old /kernel to something like /kernel.old and the new one to /kernel. 5) Reboot. ?? 2.0 seems to have a lot of thought behind it (the installation was great -- although it hung during the extraction of X -- also, I can't seem to be able to just rerun /sbin/sys_install without having to respecify new mount points etc. I ended up just copying the X directory hierarchy from /file_sys/usr/X11R6 off the CD) Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a ton for a brilliant alternative! -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Brian J. Sletten bsletten@autometric.com Ph.
