Can't see cursor

[Poincare]

I'm trying to configure my mouse and i'll tried all the ports on the list and I still can't see the cursor, let alone move it. Its a USB mouse. How can I do this?

Is moused running?

You can go into sysinstall and start the mouse up. Likewise, you should be able to do something (as root):

sh /etc/rc.d/moused start

You'll also have to, at some point, add the following line into /etc/rc.conf:

moused_enable="YES"

so, I can do it after the install (please say yes)?

You only need moused_enable in rc.conf if you have a PS/2 mouse. Moused should be automatically loaded for USB mice.

Tail /var/log/messages and unplug/plug the mouse. See what's been detected.
