To fix the problem I disabled moused in /etc/rc.conf . I could 'startx' X session. But 'ps' still showed moused processes: $ ps auxww |grep -i mouse root 1286 0.0 0.1 9716 1148 ?? Ss 8:55AM 0:01.02 /usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/ums0 -t auto -I /var/run/moused.ums0.pid root 1888 0.0 0.1 9716 1144 ?? Is 8:55AM 0:00.00 /usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/psm0 -t auto root 2045 0.0 0.1 12340 2516 ?? I 8:55AM 0:00.01 hald-addon-mouse-sysmouse: /dev/psm0 (hald-addon-mouse-sy) root 2065 0.0 0.1 12340 2520 ??

There was a fix offered on questions-list: Disable hal in xorg.conf, ServerLayout section: Option "AutoAddDevices" "Off" I assume this is a temp solution only. So I enabled moused in /etc/rc.conf, with the above xorg.conf fix. and rebooted. 'startx' log shows: (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (8) (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (8) but mouses seem to work again. jb _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
