BSD mouse problem


Recommended Posts

Can anyone help me with this problem?

I've installed freeBSD4.10, which seems to be running ok.

I've installed freeBSD before but not encountered this kind of problem until now.

After installing I configured the XF86Config which also went ok.

However when I rebooted the system, logged in as root, I tried startx

I got this error.

xf8OpenSerial: connot open device mouse1

no such file or directory.

preInit failed for input device Mouse1

No core pointer

I had already configured the mouse daemon, and I've configured the mouse for the FX86Config which I set as a standard mouse ( which is what it is ).

Maybe I need to edit a file or something ??? can anyone point me in the right direction ?

Thankx

if you need anymore info, let me know ;)

:rolleyes: 1. Immediately invoke System Restore, if you have it running.

2. OR roll back the driver.

3. Search for any newer, updated versions of the driver, and install.
