hello guys,
i am new to the forum and to freebsd too, i installed freebsd 7.2 a couple of weeks ago on virtualbox to give it a try, it looked very similar to linux so i wanted to give it a try as a real operating system, i was expecting something better than linux, i have to say i am very disappointed..
my usb mouse didn't work out of the box, fortunately after configuring "Xorg -configure" and copying xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf Option AllowEmptyInput" "off" did the trick
the next challenge was getting my wireless usb device to connect to my router, here is what i did:
that was it, no internet, no available solution
i never had a problem with my wireless device in linux or even in windows
lastly, another big disappointment, i run kde:
shell> /usr/local/kde4/bin/kdm
i can't do anything without moving the mouse :\ i write something and it doesn't show up unless i move the mouse, i click on an icon of a program and it doesn't run, again i have to move the mouse..
what is wrong with FreeBSD?
