Firstly, sorry if this is a bit of a newbie question. I am quite new to
FreeBSD (though fairly experienced at Linux). Almost everything in FreeBSD
is fine, except that no matter what I try I cannot get the (USB) mouse to
work.
I have scoured the handbook, and Googled, but to no avail.
This is 9.0-RELEASE on amd64 - fully updated.
I don't need the mouse in consoles, but I do want it in X.
Here is my xorg.conf in its entirety:
There are duplicated sections in the output provided.
##################################
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
Option "Clone" "off"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "On"
EndSection
Setting AutoAddDevices on means to use HAL for mouse detection. Is HAL
running?
On one notebook, I had to set moused_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf before
both the touchpad and an external mouse would work.
