What I'm writing is very basic, but I just got an answer
to a question where I'd forgotten a very basic thing, so
don't get insulted. I may be way off base, being a relative
newbie, but if so, it'll at least probably get a quicker
response from somewhere else. :)
First off Denny, thanks for answering my email for help. Here goes..
1) Are you still running GENERIC kernel?
YES
2) Do you have /dev/psm0?
YES
3) Do you have, in /etc/rc.conf
moused_enable="YES"?
Yes, manually entered it.
4) Do you have, in your kernel config file,
# atkbdc0 controls both the keyboard and the PS/2 mouse
device psm # PS/2 mouse
YES
5) Do you show something like this in dmesg?
psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: model IntelliMouse, device ID 3
Yes, actually here is what it says:
psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: model IntelliMouse Explorer, device ID 4
6) I know when you don't have /etc/X11/xorg.conf, X will
still probe & try to come up with a working solution,
but as to where it stores it's settings, unless in the
afore mentioned file, I don't know.
I'd love to see the file it generates for X looks "great" when I leave
it alone and startkde with no files.
7) And if, after running without an xorg.conf file, it does
have one it generated, does it have anything like this?
I can't seem to find the one it's using, here are the results of a
seach I did. I had one file in my home directory from another machine
but that file is not named valid for use, here is the seach results.
liam# find / -name "xorg.c*"
/usr/X11R6/man/man5/xorg.conf.5.gz
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/xorg.cf
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/getconfig/xorg.cfg
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf.eg
/usr/home/wiliweld/xorg.conf.new
# Identifier and driver
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
8) There have been other posts about xorg.conf problems
recently. As I said, if you don't configure it yourself,
it'll try to probe & come up with something. I guess it's
having trouble with your mouse, though, which, btw, you
didn't mention what kind of mouse. Did you check the hardware
compat list? Hope some of this helped.
The mouse I'm using works fine in another 32bit 5.4 machine and here is
the seach path results:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]-> find / -name "xorg.c*" -print
/usr/X11R6/man/man5/xorg.conf.5.gz
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/xorg.cf
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/getconfig/xorg.cfg
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf.eg
/root/xorg.conf.new
And inside the last file there is the mouse settings of:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
EndSection
I'll keep hacking Denny, thanks
