xorg pointer (mouse)

[Alan BRASLAU <alan.braslau@cea.fr>]

Hello,

I newly installed kfreebsd-i386, fairly successfully,
using the mini.iso debian installer. However, I have not
been able to get the X11 core pointer (usb mouse) to work:
1. neither "by default" using hal
2. nor using a very minimal xorg.conf

I have seen some discussion in bug reports,
but the little information that I have found on the web seems outdated.
So I suspect that my problem is not so general
and I am just missing something rather simple.

Please advise.

Alan



dmesg:

ums0: 5 buttons and [XYZ] coordinates ID=17

lshal: does not show anything mouse-related

(non-hal variant of /etc/X11/xorg.conf):

Replacing /dev/sysmouse with /dev/ums0 yields:
