I've just installed FreeBSD 5.3 on my desktop machine (P4 2.8GHz with

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.
I've just tried mine by using the PS/2 adaptor and it's not working here
either. The light on the 'base station' doesn't stay on. Is your
xorg.conf different than mine?
Slightly:
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "sysmouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
I don't use the tiltwheel - it annoys me - hence Buttons set to 5
Hmmm...not sure why mine's not working then. Is your mouse the wireless
version? Mine says Microsoft Wireless Mouse 2.0 (it's kind of a light
purple color ).
Thanks.
