I have a x486 system with a Microsoft mouse. I have installed FreeBSD2.0.5 and everything seems fine, except the mouse. I cannot get the Xserver to open the mouse device. I have reconfigured my kernel to include the "psm0" and "mse0" devices (took the lines from the LINT file). When the kernel boots up, I see the message that the kernel was able to recognize the device "psm0" (I infact put a printf in psmprobe() in psm.c to verify that the probe succeeded). However, if I tried cat'ing from /dev/psm0 or use that name in /etc/XF86Config and start the Xserver, it complains that the device /dev/psm0 is not configured. I made the device psm0 using the command "cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV psm0" and the major number is 21. I am lost here. I could add more printf's to psm.c to see why the open fails, but figured someone would already know the reason. Thanks, Venkat
