I've just installed FreeBSD 5.3 on my desktop machine (P4 2.8GHz with 512MB RAM) and cannot get my mouse pointer to move in KDE. It is a Microsoft Wireless Optical 2.0 mouse (USB) and I have the following section in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:
Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "Auto" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "Buttons" "7" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
I have installed FreeBSD from the disc 1 ISO file and installed everything by default. I have not done a kernel recomple at this point.
Is this an issue with my xorg.conf file or a USB issue that requires a kernel recompile? I did not see anything helpful in the Using X11 in the manual.
They don't work :-( I have to run mine on PS/2 via an adaptor. There is a patch in http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/70607 to fix this. I tried the first version of the patch; the mouse worked but there were other problems. There have been several modifications done to the patch since then that I haven't tried.
HTH
Regards,
Mark
