After moving from 9.0-RELEASE to 9-STABLE yesterday, the touchpad mouse on my netbook stopped working. When I do # /etc/rc.d/moused onestart the pointer appears and can be moved for a second or two, then it stops responding. Any thoughts? $ uname -a FreeBSD ace.skysmurf.nl 9.0-STABLE FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE #0: Thu May 17 10:49:00 CEST 2012 root@ace.skysmurf.nl:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Fonz -- Obsig: developing a new sig

I'm currently trying to rebuild ports/x11-drivers/xf86-input-[mouse|keyboard] as that seems to have failed to have been rebuilt properly during a recent portupgrade. Sean

If in xorg, have you seen this thread on x11@? http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-x11/2012-April/011756.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-x11/2012-May/011851.html The proposed solution is to set AutoAddDevices off, so that hald is not used to enumerate mice/keyboards, and instead rely on explicitly configuring them in your xorg.conf. This doesn't work for me, I need working hald as I plug and unplug keyboards and mice each time I take my laptop out of its dock, so instead I boot to console, and run this ugly hack: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/gdm onestart ; sleep 20 ; /usr/local/etc/rc.d/gdm onerestart Normally after it has restarted once, X can finally talk to hald and find the mice and keyboards. Cheers Tom

I don't known exactly when, I post the first message at 27 april. But since the new version of Xorg or/and 9-Stable I definitely my ... external mouse. The touchpad working fine but when I plug a usb mouse on my laptop the kernel seem to see the mouse but he don't work. Same problem on my second laptop, both are Dell. Regards.
