Cmon man some help needed,

where is this frikkin file located?

F*!kin mouse.





My xorg.conf:-
*pastebin.ca/976673

 

[mehulved]

Try /dev/psm0

 

[Renny]

Try /dev/psm0

I did so from root, I get the following output:-





When I type "/dev/psm0" I get:-

Permission denied

When I type "cat /dev/psm0" I get:-

Resource Temporarily Unavailable

 

[mehulved]

fstat | grep psm0

 

[Renny]

I get this output for "fstat | grep psm0" :-

root   moused   957   3 /dev   67   crw-rw-rw-   psm0 rw

 

[mehulved]

Try editing xorg.conf and use /dev/pcm0 as your mouse. Restart your X server after editing the config file. See if you're able to use the mouse then.

 

[Renny]

It works but only "temporarily" meaning in the Login screen it doesnt work,

After exiting X and using "init 1" and running xorgconfig and editing the lines in xorg.conf to "/dev/psm0" it works,

but after restarting my pc it doesnt work.

 

[mehulved]

better to ask on desktopbsd.net/forums people out there should be able to help you better then. I think it could be cos of GPM but not sure.

Also, try this. After logging in, if the mouse doesn't work, open a terminal and login as root and type killall moused

 

[Renny]

OK, I'm going to give some complete details here:-


1. First I ran "xorgconfig" from root and selected the mouse protocol as "PS/2".


2. Next I opened /etc/X11/xorg.conf and changed the line from "/dev/sysmouse" TO "/dev/psm0"


3. After that I started X from root and the mouse worked(Could'nt continue from root as DesktopBSD
doesnt allow root login except for changing System Settings).



4. Next after this I logged out of root and logged into my account(rahul), here too the mouse worked but there were 3 dialog boxes(one bash, the other xterm and last one I dont remember), so I dont think KDE started here.


5. So I used CTRL+ALT+F2 and "init 1" and terminated X.


6. Finally I restarted the system using "halt".


7. When the system restarts and goes to the Login Screen the mouse does'nt work.




I have inclued 2 pics:-
Pic 1 - Output of "dmesg"
Pic 2 - Output of "fstat | grep psm0

PS - Before running xorgconfig and editing it I followed Step 5.

 

[mehulved]

Use su for logging in as root in terminal, after you've logged in as user.

 

[Renny]

Use su for logging in as root in terminal, after you've logged in as user.

I know that but what does it have to do with the problem.

 

[Renny]

Finally solved the problem,

Ran "sysinstall" and configured the mouse there,

Thanks so much mehul for all your help .


But X freezes sometimes, what cud be the problem?

 

[ray|raven]

Driver perhaps?

Whats the driver used by X?

 

[Renny]

Driver used is i810,

KDE(and X) crashes and hangs a lot after I got the mouse working,

Before when the mouse was'nt working X did'nt hang or crash even once.

 

[ray|raven]

Could you post the .xsessionerrors file and also, the message X gives you when it crashes.

 

[Renny]

I dont get any error message, after logging in in about 5-10 minutes X just hangs, CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE does'nt workn nothing works, it just totally freezes.

And where is the xsessionerrors located?

 

[ray|raven]

your home directory.Its hidden btw.
