i have an ASUS laptop that i have photodocumented excessively: http://www.monkeyview.net/id/965/fsck/index.vhtml e.g. model decal: http://www.monkeyview.net/id/965/fsck/dmesg/PB12001901.vhtml i am trying to disable the touchpad mouse that i accidentally brush and instead make my Macally Optigo http://www.monkeyview.net/id/965/fsck/mousie/index.vhtml USB mouse the only way to move my gnome pointer (i hope i shouldn't have tried the gnome list, but this seems sort of hardware-y) at the command line this operation was successsful: killall moused moused -p /dev/ums0 here is a process display (prompt is "kv_bsd#") kv_bsd# ps -A | grep moused 527 ?? Ss 0:02.02 /usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/ums0 -t auto -I /var/run/moused.ums0.pid 718 ?? Is 0:00.01 /usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/psm0 -t auto kv_bsd# the goal here, is to getting this working on startup. we tried editing a config file catted below: kv_bsd# cat /etc/rc.conf # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Sun Dec 2 03:03:56 2007 # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Sun Dec 2 10:47:16 2007 # Created: Sun Dec 2 10:47:16 2007 # Enable network daemons for user convenience. # Please make all changes to this file, not to /etc/defaults/rc.conf. # This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf. linux_enable="YES" moused_enable="YES" moused_port="/dev/ums0" moused_type="auto" gdm_enable="YES" sshd_enable="YES" ntpdate_flags="ntp1.mainecoon.com" ntpdate_enable="YES" usbd_enable="YES" ifconfig_bge0="inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0" defaultrouter="192.168.0.1" hostname="kv_bsd" tcp_extensions="YES" kv_bsd# but that caused the touchpad to be dominant, i.e. the USB mouse no longer works at all. (an aside.. before someone tells me to do it in the BIOS, i don't think i can. however, i have taken pictures of all the windows of my BIOS here: http://www.monkeyview.net/id/965/fsck/bios/index.vhtml) tried this: echo "/usr/bin/killall moused ; sleep 1 ; /usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/ums0" > /usr/local/etc/rc.d/usbmouse here is some dmesg info: kv_bsd# dmesg | grep mouse psm0: model Generic PS/2 mouse, device ID 0 kv_bsd# what follows is cut from dmesg psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0 psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED] psm0: model Generic PS/2 mouse, device ID 0 more dmesg.. that's the mousie i want right there ums0: vendor 0x2222 Macally Optigo USB Mouse, rev 1.10/6.30, addr 2, iclass 3/1 ums0: 3 buttons and Z dir. and this didn't work either: System->Preferences->Sessions THen the Startup Programs tab, the Add button and then add this one: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/usbmouse more things i tried kv_bsd# ps -A | grep mouse 529 ??
