Sorry for the newbie sounding questions but I've hit all dead ends. OpenBSD user moving over to FreeBSD so I have worked with some BSD.
Older netbook, mouse touchpad doesn't work. FreeBSD 9.1 and ran freebsd-update to make sure I have the latest. Xorg installed from DVD packages.
Mouse shows up under dmesg as psm0. On boot moused(8) starts from rc.conf the pointer icon shows but won't move and disappears after any keyboard key pressed and will never come back.
Xorg mouse doesn't work either.
rc.conf
I had to edit xorg.conf.new removing intel driver and using vesa (black screen no response to anything).
Xorg config I have added
into the top at ServerLayout.
and have also tried
all from http://freebsd.csie.nctu.edu.tw/www.freebsd.org/data/doc/faq/x.html#x-and-moused
I have also added
to /etc/devfs.conf.
Xorg on start:
Note:
Does the same as moused(8) at startup pointer shows in terminal and goes away after typing and won't move.
Thanks in advance sorry for the newbie ness of it. I have spent all day reading man and google with no fix that I could find.
