The following reply was made to PR misc/33685; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Jamel Brown <viril29@yahoo.com> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: misc/33685: mouse problems Date: Tue, 8 Jan 2002 19:12:28 -0800 (PST) After getting the e-mail i looked to see if i had /dev/psm0 in which case i did so because i did not know what do if the files already exists i deleted it and created it again. I got the same message on my system when i ran "moused -i all -p /dev/psm0" again i did not build a custom kernel yet so i still have the default kernel. I have those four lines of code in my kernel configuration. is there any other things i can do that will help me. --- Sheldon Hearn <sheldonh@starjuice.net> wrote: > > > On Tue, 08 Jan 2002 01:29:13 PST, "Jamel A.
