netbsd 5 xorg no mouse[Solved]
I have done a complete installation (all sets) of netbsd 5 64 bit on my laptop. I have installed gnome on my laptop using the pkgsrc gnome meta pkg. Then I installed modular xorg using this wiki http://wiki.netbsd.se/How_to_install_modular_Xorg. I then create a config file for X using the command.
Code:
X -configure When I added wsmoused to rc.conf, the mouse is working in the console but not in xorg. Last edited by jaideep_jdof; 17th September 2009 at 03:48 PM. |

Since 5.0 release there is no need for installing Xorg from pkgsrc, becouse it's in base installation. If you really had installed ALL sets, you probably have parallel two version of xorg, first from installation and second from pkgsrc. Maybe this is the problem?
Try also running gnome without gdm. Add Code:
exec gnome-session Best Regards, Tom |

My suggestion to add on is to begin by not using wsmoused, for two reasons:
1) It's only used for the console, so if you want to boot into gdm or some such, it's not needed; but the main reason is: 2) If wsmoused is not configured just right it can cause big problems with X. With prior versions of NetBSD it would lock up my computer. (Related to this configuration you need to look at the xconsole parameter in wsmoused.conf(5).) So I would not put "wsmoused=YES" in /etc/rc.conf at this stage. Once you have the GUI working, you could return to it and see if you can make it work compatibly. |

I have disabled wsmoused from my rc.conf and added gnome-session to my .xinitrc, gnome desktop starts using startx but mouse is not working. Is there a way to uninstall the xset which i installed during system installation. Do I have to reinstall netbsd, I dont want to recompile gnome again. Is there a binary package for the gnome meta pkg for amd64. I searched on this ftp ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/pack...amd64/5.0/All/ but there is no such package, there is one for i386.

So if I re install netbsd and unselect xset during installation, and then install xorg using http://wiki.netbsd.se/How_to_install_modular_Xorg, the mouse should work theme right?
|
|
|||
So if i do pkg_delete -R for modular-xorg-server, modular-xorg-apps, modular-xorg-fonts, xf86-input-keyboard, xf86-input-mouse, xf86-video-intel then the issue will be fixed. One more thing should i use -R or -r with pkg_delete.

You will be fine with pkg_delete without any options. In case you want to know what will have happened if you use one, run pkg_delete -nR package or pkg_delete -nr package and decide if you need those options. Option -n means it will display what would happen, but will not actually deinstall anything.
Also, see the following from pkgsrc guide: http://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/us...ing.pkg_delete

I removed all the xorg packages i installed from pkgsrc and added gnome-session to .xinitrc and used startx , the mouse works fine now but gdm still doesn't start, gdm starts if i remove the xorg.conf file which i generated using the command X -configure but then mouse doesn't work.

While you have properly configured mouse, try to run gdm command (instead of startx) and check if the mouse is working.
If it works, add gdm command to /etc/rc.local, maybe it will work. |
|

what is the difference between rc.conf and rc.local, and when I auto generate xorg.conf the mouse device is /dev/mouse which i change to /dev/wsmouse and mouse protocol is auto which i change to wsmouse are these correct entries.

Seems like some of the reply got deleted some how. I want to thank every one for the help. I managed to fix all the issues, so thanks every one.

Yes, some posts are missing, see this thread.
I'm glad it's working now. Could you tell us what you did to make it work? Later someone might be having the same issue as you did, he/she could run on this thread but there will be no solution.

Solution:
1) Remove all the modular xorg package installed using pkgsrc. 2) Reboot your system with the netbsd installed cd and select upgrade option and select the xserver and related sets for installation. 3) Generate a new xorg.conf using X -configure and place it in /etc/X11/. 4) Then restart your gdm. 5) Enjoy NetBSD. |

Along the lines of this thread. I installed NetBSD 5.0.1to Via C3 cpu based Asus C3 Terminator barebones with sata drives. I installed the xsets during installation.
The onboard video driver needs either "via", or better yet the openchrome drivers which are in package source. It was a PITA to install as I had to put the drive in another computer. My Xorg.0.log indicated the openchrome driver is not available. Can I mix the pkgsrc xf86-video-openchrome drivers with the xsets or do I have do go back and reinstall without xsets and build a modular xorg? Last edited by shep; 19th October 2009 at 11:56 PM. Reason: added more info |

Yes, offcourse. Just install the xf86-video-openchrome and change the entry in xorg.conf.
