>Description:
Hello all.,
I recently installed freeBSD 5.2 and have a problem. I have most
everything working corectly except the mouse. I set it to auto and it
detects the mouse but it jumps all over the screen.I've tried every
configuration I can think of under the sun. Does anyone have any
recomendations?

First I used /stand/sysinstall and selected the auto selecton. It
detected the mouse but started jumping. After that I decided to select
auto from the xf86config script, when that didn't work I tried sysmouse
but got no beter response. One thing I did notice one thing. If I hook
up a normal ps2 mouse and enable the mouse it works fine, even when I
swap out the normal mouse for the optical but when I reboot if I have
the optical mouse atached it goes back to jumping around. Realy weard.

I have a Samsung ps2 optical mouse
I have set in /etc/rc.conf these lines:

moused_flags="-a .4"
moused_port="/dev/psm0"
moused_type="auto"
moused_enable="YES"

but still doesn't work.
