setting up xorg - mouse

[Computer Answers]

<quote>
Does the mouse work in the console ("DOS-screen")?
xorg usually isn't the problem, it much more often moused which isn't
running or badly configured.
Try running:
moused -t auto -p /dev/psm0
Before starting xorg, see the link I posted earlier.

Alright -  I will try this.

Hi,

I have the same problem. If I leave the definitions for the mouse out, X
starts without problems and uses the mouse. As long as a mouse
definition is given in the configuration file, I cannot use the mouse.

Allright

-- is this a fBSD-q rule?
