Mouse works in console not Xorg
I had FreeBSD 7.0 AMD64 running on and ECS A 770M-A mobo with a ps/2 wired mouse that the kernel ID's as an intellimouse on irq 3. I recall have some trouble getting the mouse set up on the initial install.
I upgraded to 7.1 as a dual boot with BlueWhite64 linux. My problem is that the mouse is not recognized in FreeBSD 7.1 Xorg. It works fine in BlueWhite 64 and in FreeBSD console cutting and pasting. I also tried a different mouse that was recognized as a ps/2 mouse irq12 in the kernel and stopping moused and setting Xorg protocol to "ps/2" and device to "/dev/psm0" Still works in everything but Xorg Any suggestions Thanks in advance |

You should always generate a new X configuration file, just encase default parameters change.
# Xorg -configure If you're using the mouse daemon, aka moused(8).. directly accessing the mouse via /dev/psm0 probably isn't recommended. Try killing the mouse daemon before using psm0 device, set the protocol to Auto; see if that helps. |

Thanks for the reply. I tried rebooting with the moused in rc.conf commented out. Then generated a another xorg.conf.new and still have the problem. The mouse pointer does not move in X and <ctl><alt> <backspace> doesn't kill X. I can open another console. Google indicates there were some problems with intellimouse protocols but I get the same behaviour with a generic ps/2 mouse. I have been google to see if I can find the page that helped me sort this out 8 months age but so far no luck.

Thanks Coffee Addict. That did the trick. Was there something I missed in the documentation? Once I get XFCE built and enable hald I assume I will need to delete that line in the xorg.conf server layout
Thanks Again! Edit: I enabled dbus and hald in /etc/rc.conf and setup ttys for a graphical xdm login. I removed the AllowEmptyInput Option in the "ServerLayout" and lose the mouse pointer in xdm. When I added back the "AllowEmptyInput" line to the "ServerLayout" It worked. I do not recall finding anything about this when googling about mice freebsd and xorg. Hopefully, others having this problem will find this post Thanks again Last edited by shep; 10th February 2009 at 05:09 AM. |

I glossed over it but my setup also still needs use of AllowEmptyInput.
