I know this has been asked a million times before but I can't get it working. And please don't say "Read the handbook". That answer is not only annoying but not helpful.
After upgrading to 7.2 to 8.2 my mouse won't work after starting X or during X -configure. The handbook says:
"If the mouse does not work, you will need to first configure it before proceeding. See Section 2.10.10 in the FreeBSD install chapter. "
So I followed that link to section 2.10.10 and it shows screenshots of what looks like sysinstall. So I go to sysinstall and configure the mouse and it works fine in sysinstall then go back to startx and no mouse.
/etc/rc.conf:
There's more about the network at the top but I don't want to type it all by hand since the mouse isn't working, I'm on another PC typing this.
in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Any suggestion how to get the mouse working, it's a USB mouse.
