Guys, I've been using FreeBSD since 2.0.5, so I _should_ know by now that not everything works with this OS; it's an unbeatable server, and maybe I should leave it at this.
HEre is the situation: a friend installed a Belkin [SOHO] KVM switch. I am running Ubuntu on one desktop; FreeBSD on my server. (And FreeBSD on my old desktop.) The USB keyboard works fine everywhere. But my USB mouse fails on the FreeBSD platforms when I try to run X11. I *have* managed to get the mouse working without X [i.e., in console mode]; and yes, the cursor and the buttons work fine. But once I launch X--even simple apps like twm or ctwm, the mouse pointer is dead. I've been messing with /dev/ums0; it fails because it is busy. I just tried the trick of disabling the keyboard and the server failed at first to reboot. I am disabled and have one use of my left hand; thus too much messing with hardware is a bit dicey. Any ideas how I can get X _with_ mouse+keyboard working on my BSD platforms? tia, gary -- Gary Kline kl...@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix The 7.90a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php http://journey.thought.org _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
