I have the OS loaded but, I cannot get Xfree86 running or the 3COM PCMCIA, 3C589, ethernet card to work. XFree complains about my mouse, I chose the PS2 style mouse and /dev/mouse is linked to /dev/psm0. On bootup FreeBSD says that psm is disabled. There seems to be an entry for it in the kernel. I've tried rebuilding the kernel but I'm not having any success with the ps2 mouse. Perhaps this isn't the right choice? I don't know. Has anyone got Xfree working on a Toshiba 700 laptop? Also, I can't get FreeBSD to recognize the 3COM PCMCIA ethernet card. Upon bootup, I can see that its probed and appears to be associated with device ze0 but, I cannot ifconfig it up. ifconfig says there is no such device and there is no /dev/ze0 file. I'd appreciate Any pointers any pointers in this area as well. thanks John Rushford wjjr@sapphire.alisa.org
