Hi there,
I am running FreeBSD 2.0.5 and XFree86 3.1.2. I have a Gateway DX2/66
with Viper PCI bus and PS/2 type Microsoft mouse. When the system starts,
the mouse does not move correctly. It jumps everywhere on the screen
making me feel that the information to the mouse is wrong.
In xdm-errors file, there is this line:
Warning: unable to get status of mouse fd (Invalid argument)
The following is the Point section in my XF86Config file.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Chie-Jin
