hi,
i downloaded Ghost BSD 4.0 .img file and tried to install from USB stick
once the system loaded into Live desktop my Logitech PS2 mouse and keyboard were not working/not detected (both are working fine in other Linux dist's)
i had a spare USB mouse which i was able to connect successfully
i was unable to proceed with installation as i do not have any USB keyboard handy
is there any way i could start installation with PS2 devices?
does this image file has support for PS2 devices, apart from KBD and mouse everything worked out of box.
kindly need your help.

Re: PS2 mouse and keyboard not working
I'm having a similar issue. Live disk boots OK. USB keyboard is recognized but PS2 mouse is frozen dead center. Is there any way to get the mouse working? Thanks.
Re: PS2 mouse and keyboard not working
If you are able to do Ctrl+Alt+F2 login as root put in /etc/rc.conf using nano, ee or vi moused_enable="YES".
Re: PS2 mouse and keyboard not working
That was easy. Have done similar things on Debian many times. But then I couldn't figure out how to login again as user. ctrl + alt + F9 got me to a graphical Desktop but then there was no mouse cursor at all. When I got back to a working system, I searched online as well as the FreeBSD Handbook but could only find instructions for logging in as root. This forum wouldn't list any results for words that were too common. I feel like a complete idiot starting from scratch. ### systemd . . .ericbsd wrote:If you are able to do Ctrl+Alt+F2 login as root put in /etc/rc.conf using nano, ee or vi moused_enable="YES".
Word censoring, really??
Re: PS2 mouse and keyboard not working
the live system has no root password and to start back moused type . sorry I forgot to mention that.
you can all got Ctrl+Atl+F1 and do CTRL+C and type gdm .
I will add this configuration for the next release.
Code: Select all
service moused restart

Re: PS2 mouse and keyboard not working
I added the line to /etc/rc.conf, saved, exited nano and then:
Which threw up this:
I'm willing to give it one more try if you have any more suggestions.
Code: Select all
service moused restart
Code: Select all
moused not running? Check /var/run/moused.pid
Starting default mousedmoused: unable to open /dev/psm0. No such file or directory.
This got me back to the Desktop but still no cursor. (: Never had so much trouble with a live disk . . . (yes, I checked the md5sum.)ericbsd wrote:you can all got Ctrl+Atl+F1 and do CTRL+C and type gdm .

Re: PS2 mouse and keyboard not working
No other suggestions? Too bad. What I could see of Ghost looked nice. Guess I'll move on to Virtual Box and PC-BSD . . .
