No Mouse in X

[TomK]

I entered startx and X came up showing three windows plus a clock but I had no mouse. My /etc/X11/xorg.conf shows:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "sysmouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
Option ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection

In /etc/rc.conf I have, amongst other comments:

moused_enable="YES"

and my from memory, mouse type "Auto" although I had tried Logitech (as it is a Logitech mouse) but that didn't give me a mouse in my X window either.

Query:

How do I return to the console mode without a mouse or an ability to type anything in the X screen, short of <ctl> <alt> <del>?

See X11 Configuration. In summary, either run hal or use AutoAddDevices Off.

ctrl-alt-f1 should still work to switch back to the console.

Check the entries

dbus_enable="YES"

and

hald_enable="YES"

in rc.conf

Also, I've noticed it says there "Mouse1", what happened with "Mouse0"? Are there two entries or there's an error in the xorg.conf?

Thank You

I used the suggestion (

dbus_enable="YES"

and

hald_enable="YES"

in rc.conf) and was able to get my mouse running.

I don't know what happened to Mouse0 but it seems to be running very well on Mouse1.

Best Regards,

When using dbus and hal, you can remove the InputDevice sections completely. They aren't used.
