Hello, I had moused running, using /dev/mouse which was a symlink to /dev/sysmouse. When I started X with this configuration, the mouse fired off quite a few clicks and placed itself in the top right corner and then went dead. I went back to the console and killed moused just to find that the mouse now was non-functional in X. Back on the console again, I changed /dev/mouse to point to /dev/psm0 (as I have a PS/2 mouse). This made the mouse work correctly in X, but only when moused isn'r running. moused still starts and operates correctly even tough it now points to /dev/psm0 instead of /dev/sysmouse trough /dev/mouse. Is there a way to make moused and X cooperate to share the mouse? And what exactly does=20 /dev/sysmouse do? I read somewhere that it was an abstraction to the actual mouse device...? Note that I have tried both "ps/2" and "auto" as protocols for moused, both for /dev/psm0 and /dev/sysmouse. - IT To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
