- You have configured and been running the mouse daemon.

-
- <para>Starting <application>xf86config</application> will display
- a brief introduction:</para>
-
- <screen>This program will create a basic XF86Config file, based on menu selections you
-make.
-
-The XF86Config file usually resides in /usr/X11R6/etc/X11 or /etc/X11. A sample
-XF86Config file is supplied with XFree86; it is configured for a standard
-VGA card and monitor with 640x480 resolution. This program will ask for a
-pathname when it is ready to write the file.
-
-You can either take the sample XF86Config as a base and edit it for your
-configuration, or let this program produce a base XF86Config file for your
-configuration and fine-tune it.
-
-Before continuing with this program, make sure you know what video card
-you have, and preferably also the chipset it uses and the amount of video
-memory on your video card. SuperProbe may be able to help with this.
-
-Press enter to continue, or ctrl-c to abort.</screen>
-
- <para>Pressing <keycap>Enter</keycap> will start the mouse
- configuration. Be sure to follow the instructions and use
- <quote>Mouse Systems</quote> as the mouse protocol and
- <filename>/dev/sysmouse</filename> as the mouse port even if
- using a PS/2 mouse is shown as an illustration.</para>
-
- <screen>First specify a mouse protocol type. Choose one from the following list:
-
- 1. Microsoft compatible (2-button protocol)
- 2. Mouse Systems (3-button protocol) & FreeBSD moused protocol
- 3. Bus Mouse
- 4. PS/2 Mouse
- 5. Logitech Mouse (serial, old type, Logitech protocol)
- 6. Logitech MouseMan (Microsoft compatible)
- 7. MM Series
- 8. MM HitTablet
- 9. Microsoft IntelliMouse
-
-If you have a two-button mouse, it is most likely of type 1, and if you have
-a three-button mouse, it can probably support both protocol 1 and 2. There are
-two main varieties of the latter type: mice with a switch to select the
-protocol, and mice that default to 1 and require a button to be held at
-boot-time to select protocol 2. Some mice can be convinced to do 2 by sending
-a special sequence to the serial port (see the ClearDTR/ClearRTS options).
-
-Enter a protocol number: 2
-
-You have selected a Mouse Systems protocol mouse. If your mouse is normally
-in Microsoft-compatible mode, enabling the ClearDTR and ClearRTS options
-may cause it to switch to Mouse Systems mode when the server starts.
-
-Please answer the following question with either 'y' or 'n'.
-Do you want to enable ClearDTR and ClearRTS? n
-
-You have selected a three-button mouse protocol. It is recommended that you
-do not enable Emulate3Buttons, unless the third button doesn't work.
-
-Please answer the following question with either 'y' or 'n'.
-Do you want to enable Emulate3Buttons? y
-
-Now give the full device name that the mouse is connected to, for example
-/dev/tty00. Just pressing enter will use the default, /dev/mouse.
-On FreeBSD, the default is /dev/sysmouse.

-Mouse device: /dev/sysmouse</screen>

-
- <screen>Now we want to set the specifications of the monitor. The two critical
-parameters are the vertical refresh rate, which is the rate at which the
-whole screen is refreshed, and most importantly the horizontal sync rate,
-which is the rate at which scanlines are displayed.
-
-The valid range for horizontal sync and vertical sync should be documented
-in the manual of your monitor. If in doubt, check the monitor database
-/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/Monitors to see if your monitor is there.
-
-Press enter to continue, or ctrl-c to abort.
-
-
-
-You must indicate the horizontal sync range of your monitor. You can either
-select one of the predefined ranges below that correspond to industry-
-standard monitor types, or give a specific range.
-
-It is VERY IMPORTANT that you do not specify a monitor type with a horizontal
-sync range that is beyond the capabilities of your monitor. If in doubt,
-choose a conservative setting.
-
- hsync in kHz; monitor type with characteristic modes
- 1 31.5; Standard VGA, 640x480 @ 60 Hz
- 2 31.5 - 35.1; Super VGA, 800x600 @ 56 Hz
- 3 31.5, 35.5; 8514 Compatible, 1024x768 @ 87 Hz interlaced (no 800x600)
- 4 31.5, 35.15, 35.5; Super VGA, 1024x768 @ 87 Hz interlaced, 800x600 @ 56 Hz
- 5 31.5 - 37.9; Extended Super VGA, 800x600 @ 60 Hz, 640x480 @ 72 Hz

- 7 31.5 - 57.0; High Frequency SVGA, 1024x768 @ 70 Hz
- 8 31.5 - 64.3; Monitor that can do 1280x1024 @ 60 Hz
- 9 31.5 - 79.0; Monitor that can do 1280x1024 @ 74 Hz
-10 31.5 - 82.0; Monitor that can do 1280x1024 @ 76 Hz
-11 Enter your own horizontal sync range
-
-Enter your choice (1-11): 6
-
-You must indicate the vertical sync range of your monitor. You can either
-select one of the predefined ranges below that correspond to industry-
-standard monitor types, or give a specific range. For interlaced modes,
-the number that counts is the high one (e.g. 87 Hz rather than 43 Hz).
-
- 1 50-70
- 2 50-90
- 3 50-100
- 4 40-150
- 5 Enter your own vertical sync range
-
-Enter your choice: 2
-
-You must now enter a few identification/description strings, namely an
-identifier, a vendor name, and a model name. Just pressing enter will fill
-in default names.
-
-The strings are free-form, spaces are allowed.
-Enter an identifier for your monitor definition: Hitachi</screen>
-
- <para>The selection of a video card driver from a list is
- next. If you pass your card on the list, continue to press
- <keycap>Enter</keycap> and the list will repeat. Only an
- excerpt from the list is shown:</para>
-
- <screen>Now we must configure video card specific settings. At this point you can
-choose to make a selection out of a database of video card definitions.
-Because there can be variation in Ramdacs and clock generators even
-between cards of the same model, it is not sensible to blindly copy
-the settings (e.g. a Device section). For this reason, after you make a
-selection, you will still be asked about the components of the card, with
-the settings from the chosen database entry presented as a strong hint.
-
-The database entries include information about the chipset, what driver to
-run, the Ramdac and ClockChip, and comments that will be included in the
-Device section. However, a lot of definitions only hint about what driver
-to run (based on the chipset the card uses) and are untested.
-
-If you can't find your card in the database, there's nothing to worry about.
-You should only choose a database entry that is exactly the same model as
-your card; choosing one that looks similar is just a bad idea (e.g. a
-GemStone Snail 64 may be as different from a GemStone Snail 64+ in terms of
-hardware as can be).

-Do you want to look at the card database? y
