Greetings all,
I just installed a copy of 12 at 363433 from the install media.
I then pkg installed everything I intended to use.
After installing Xorg-server,nvidia-driver,xf86-input-keyboard,
xf86-input-mouse. I fired
Xorg -configure
examined the output in both /var/Xorg.o.log && ~/xorg.conf.new
everything appeared to be in order. So I fired off a
Xorg -config ~/xorg.conf.new -retro
While I got the familiar background mesh (-retro), and the
keyboard functioned correctly. The mouse doesn't work.
>From Xorg.0.log:
[85.337] (II) config/udev: Adding input device IntelliMouse Explorer (/dev/input/event4)
[85.337] (II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device.
[85.337] (II) This device may have been added with another device file.
Relevant excerpt from xorg.conf.new:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection
I appear to have covered all the bases in the entry of the handbook at:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/x-config.html
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
