The reason I still want moused is that I often work in a simple shell with no X and there mouse comes really handy to copy-paste some stuff..

Yes exactly this is why I am asking here, because I think there is something wrong with PSM or my TouchPad! On different devices / computers / trackpads everything works fine with a simple psm+moused configuration - I have two finger scroll reported by a device, passed as additional data by psm to moused thanks to hw.psm.synaptics_enable="1".. even with USB attached devices.. > Make sure you have xf86-input-synaptics and libsynaptics installed. > X should then detect the corresponding device automatically and > load the appropriate drivers and subsystems. This also does not work - cursor does not move.. and the driver cannot detect synaptics device correctly.. > > The worst thing is that one time it was working correctly.. no clue why ;-) > Maybe it was on an older FreeBSD version? Decay... ;-) Eventually we will figure that out and make a fix :-) -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
