Mousse does not work after installation.

[Nureo]

Well. My problem is on the title. My hardware is a really old computer (I change two disks of 1GB each, for one of 40GB). Yes, OpenBSD did it again! It was the only system I could install with success!

I had a RAM of 95MB [?] (I don't remember exactly). Well, now I have two of 128MB each.

I can't post right now a "dmesg", but maybe someone here can give and advice about what directories can I review in first place. Maybe some "default" configurations on mousses are not present in my installation.

Thank you!

A mouse will typically "just work" when the X Windows System is started.

If the mouse fails when using X Windows, see your /var/log/Xorg.0.log to learn why.

If you want to use a mouse without X Windows, for copy/paste, see the wsmoused(8) man page

Posting to add, X Windows will only find a mouse if the kernel finds one. Check your dmesg(8) for the keyword "mouse":

$ dmesg | grep mouse

Regardless of physical connection, a mouse should attach to the kernel via the wsmouse(4) driver, so you should see wsmouse mentioned in the dmesg.

What kind of mouse is it? Given that it's a "really old" computer, I'm guessing that a non-PnP serial mouse might not be auto-detected?

[jggimi]

The CPU is 64-bit capable, so it cannot be older than 13. AMD brought the Opteron to market in 2003.

Assuming it is that computer (which the OP didn't say), one of that age likely has a serial port. I still use a 1992 (?) era serial mouse (with 2 of 3 buttons still working!) at the console.

Likely you will have a broken wire/mouse if it is not detected by the system - can you try another mouse?
