PS/2 mouse

[jack308]

I'm attempting to install GhostBSD 20.08.04 on an older Compaq Presario built in 2008. My PS/2 mouse doesn't activate though during the live session. I do use a wireless keyboard which works. The wireless mouse that it pairs with will work, but I hate using it because the left mouse button barely functions which is why I'm trying the PS/2 mouse.

Try setting in /etc/rc.conf and reboot

Code: Select all

moused_enable="YES"
moused_type="ps/2"
moused_port="/dev/psm0"

More info in the manual of moused(8)

For extra help, the output of the following commands are needed

grep mouse /etc/rc.conf
dmesg |grep -i mouse
dmesg |grep -i ps/2
ps axw | grep mouse

Thanks for the reply. I haven't been able to install. It gets stuck on the partition section. I think I need to d/l a newer iso that ericbsd posted at http://download.us.ghostbsd.org/develop ... 64/latest/ on August 8. Mine is dated August 4.

Also having a lot of trouble making a usb flash drive that's bootable. I had to burn a dvd instead. I don't wish to burn another, so I will create a separate topic for the usb issue.
