For some reason my serial mouse does not seem to
work at all under FreeBSD 2.2.1R. The mouse is a
Microsoft Serial - PS/2 compatible, connected to
COM1. The mouse does not work at the console nor
does it in X windows.
Since it is working in a different OS using the
same hardware setup, I assume something is wrong
with my FreeBSD configuration. Which is:
/etc/sysconfig
mousedport="/dev/cuaa0"
mousedflags=""
/etc/XF86Config
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "Microsoft"
Device "/dev/mouse"
/dev
ls -l
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel .. mouse -> /dev/cuaa0
What's wrong?
Please email to waldorfm@rferl.org
Thanks!
