Upgraded from 8.0 to 8.1. Mouse does not work in X

I recently upgraded from 8.0 to 8.1. The upgrade went without problems. I then attempted to upgrade all my pkgs (installed with pkg_add), which did not go so well. In the end I used pkg_info and cut to determine the packages names of the installed packages, then pkg_delete to remove every single one of them, and then pkg_add to re-install them all. After rebooting my computer, my USB mouse does not work. It works in the console, which is nice, but X will not listen to it. X complains about the "mouse" driver not existing. I am using the exact same Xorg.conf file that I used with 8.0. Hal is also installed and running, as well as dbus.

This looks a little odd. Shouldn't it be loading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/mouse_drv.so instead?
How do I tell it to do that?

Ok. I was right. I just renamed libmouse.so and started X and it worked fine. Maybe a better solution exists, but I do not use gnome, so I assume that nothing important is using that library.
My mouse works now, all is good.

The first two are defaults, and the last one is not good. I'd remove that whole section.

Code:
Section "Module"

	Load		"nv"
EndSection

Why load "mouse_"? That looks like a mistake that may be the problem. You shouldn't need that line at all. Don't know about the nv line, either.

Code:
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Keyboard0"
    Driver         "keyboard"
    Option         "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option         "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

All defaults, I think. Remove that section and the InputDevice entry in ServerLayout. Let hal do it.

Following that, you have three mouse definitions. Why? Best to remove them all and let hal hand them to X.

PS: fixing the indentation would not be a bad thing. Consistency can help to show errors.

I added IgnoreABI because I thought maybe it was failing to load the module from the previous version of X. "Not Good" is an opinion.
When I ran X -configure, AutoAddDevices was set to Off, So I changed it and added AutoEnableDevices in case that was the problem.
I tried loading "mouse_" because when I loaded just mouse, I saw a message that said "could not load mousedrv" and the module I wanted was called mouse_drv. So I tried loading mouse_ to see if it would just tack a drv on the end and load it, didnt happen that way and I never removed that line, it just generates and error and continues parsing.
I have three different mouse sections so I could try three different things at once.

Uh huh.... The upgrade doesn't touch your xorg.conf file, and /usr/local/lib is not part of the ModulePath used by the Xorg built-in configuration.

Honestly, your xorg.conf file is such an incredible mess, I'd start from scratch by creating a new one with 'Xorg -configure'. Or just not using one at all, if you can get away with it.

I can't get away without one. I had a lot of trouble getting X running on this machine. X -configure sets it up to use the nv driver, which locks up my computer (MSI Wind-U135). I had to use X -configure from PCBSD, and copy it over via lynx and gmail. I did not touch it after that until after the upgrade, and the mouse stopped.
So anyway, I did not add that to the module path, it must have been there the whole time, and just had no effect until I did the upgrade and some other package added the libmouse.so file.
 
Well I still suggest starting from a clean xorg.conf file. nv should not be in the Module section... mouse_ is not valid in any section. There is no glx2 module, either.

Specifying AutoEnableDevices and AutoAddDevices in an xorg.conf file where you are defining your input devices will also cause problems.

For what it's worth I am having this same problem with the package from 8-stable. I'm not getting why renaming the libmouse.so (to what?) is going to help. I do use gnome. I think I'm going to try using ports rather than packages.

It's a double negative: not(not working). Don't use a broken ModulePath, and don't load "mouse_", and it's not a problem anyway.

I do use gnome. I think I'm going to try using ports rather than packages.

That's what I do, although I've heard good things about pkg_upgrade from sysutils/bsdadminscripts.
 
My FreeBSD runs Xorg without xorg.conf automagically. If you have a recent Xorg, it's likely that you don't need xorg.conf at all.
 
carlton_draught said:
I think that might depend on how many monitors you use.

Just tested this: without xorg.conf, both monitors will show the same part of the root window, aka "clone mode". xrandr(1) could be used either manually or from .xinitrc to set them to show different areas of the root window.

Setting things up beforehand in xorg.conf is often more convenient. Also nice when the defaults are not what you want.

Yes it is. When it takes you several days to get xorg.conf working the way you want, it is worth saving and holding on to.

BTW I've just tested the ports version, and now it works great. Ports it is. Thanks for your suggestions.
