I got the same error. After a few recompiles of XFree86 4.0.1_1 and still no mouse, (something about ioctl and inappropriate device in /var/log/XFree86.0.log), I only got it to work after setting the mouse protocol to auto instead of ps/2. /etc/X11/XF86Config: Option "Protocol" "auto" I think it has to do with the recent commits with patch-k to fix a switching between virtual term and X11 problem. I can't verify right now due to time constraints. My hardware is a Logitech Marble PS/2 running FreeBSD 4.1.1 and XFree84 4.0.1_1 with /dev/psm0. Hopefully what I suggested will fix your problem as well, since your symptoms matches mine exactly. On Tue, 3 Oct 2000, O.
