I recently installed 2.2.1 and I have /dev/psm0 enabled, it is
recognized on boot, and I have it enabled in the "moused" section of
/etc/sysconfig. Moving the mouse will kill the screensaver so I know
something is working, but I can't get any movement in the XFree
graphical config utility no matter which protocol I select and apply.
I'm quite new to freeBSD and I haven't yet figured out how to add the
X11R6 directory to the path... could this be it? The mouse is
manufactured by Microsoft and my motherboard is an Acer AP53 which is a
fairly typical for boards eith an Intel 430HX chipset. CPU is an AMD
K5-100. The mouse works fine under DOS, Win95, and NT 4.0.
