I'm running FreeBSD 2.2.1 on a 90MHz Pentium with a PS/2 2 button Microsoft Mouse (Mouse Port compatible). I've activated the PS/2 mouse in UserConfig and it is detected on boot up (IRQ12 I think) startx returns "None of the configured devices where detected" I assume the mouse (at least) is not being seen. To see if the mouse is connected to the kernel I've done cat /dev/psm0 which gives "Resource temporarily unavailable" Any suggestions?
