[This message is converted from WPS-PLUS to ASCII] TO : questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject : Xfree86 mouse problems on Freebsd 2.05 Hello there, I've bought the CD version of FreeBSD from Walnut Creek which included Xfree86 3.1.1 but I'm having some problems to use the last . First of all I will tell you something about my configuration ,I have a Compaq Presario 7150 Pentium 75 PCI with S3 Trio64 Svga card ,16 MB RAM ,520 MB Hard drive and a ATAPI CDROM (I know is not yet supported , but you think I will be able to use it in the future with a patch maybe ?...) . I have installed FreeBsd from a dos partition after having created a 133 MB Freebsd partition with the custom installation and I've installed the common distribution set plus the "system" sources and the xfree86 kit. After the installation I've configured XFree86 to use the X interface but trying to start it I've got the following error message : device not found /dev/mouse. After reading through the documentation I've realized that I had to reconfigure the kernel to have my mouse ( a normal PS/2 with two button) be recognised from the operating system. So with the help of the LINT example I've created a MYKERNEL containing the following instruction : device psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12 vector psmintr I've recreated successfully the kernel and I've tried again to run X application , and this time I've received the following error : no device found at 0x60 With some diagnostic program I've checked that the PS2 mouse is actually at irq 12 address 0x60 so I can't understand why Freebsd is not able to find it . So at the end my question is how can I get to run X programs on my machine , what's wrong with my procedure or what's wrong in my machine ? Thank you very much for your attention and collaboration and congratulation for the quality of the product . Roberto (Milan , Italy).
