Gnome 2.22 & FreeBSD 7 mouse configuration

I'm a newbie to both FreeBSD and Gnome.

I installed FreeBSD 7 and installed and configured Gnome 2.22.  Everything is working fine except that my
mouse does not work.  I have a USB mouse with a wheel.

The mouse works fine in the FreeBSD console but no luck with Gnome.  I've research the question and the answer
is always to edit the Xorg, XFree86 or X11 configuration files which I cannot find anywhere on my FreeBSD install.

I'm about to give up...please if someone knows where I can configure my mouse I need your help.

Thank you!

Ian

Re: Gnome 2.22 & FreeBSD 7 mouse configuration

From memory those files should all be in /etc/XFree86 or something like that...

better yet, have a look at the freebsd guide:

RE: Gnome 2.22 & FreeBSD 7 mouse configuration

Thank you for the info.  That website is exactly where I was last night and it describes xf86config and
XF86Setup as the two files used for the configuration.  Although I have the same directory structure as
described in the manual I do not have those two files.

I'm soooo lost right now :)

Hi,

I think the documentation you're looking at is outdated, isn't FreeBSD
using Xorg instead of XFree86? 

Try following these instructions instead,
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/x-config.html

Also, if you have a mouse in the console, you're probably using gpm. I
think you need to either configure X to use gpm, or deactivate it?

portupgrade -a and pkgdb -F failed


I just realized that my

kv_bsd#uname -a
FreeBSD kv_bsd 6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE #0: Fri Jan 12 10:40:27 UTC 
2007     root <at> dessler.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386
kv_bsd#

ports system has 544 ports related to gnome.  I decided to willy nilly
see if I could install a bunch of stuff.  Maybe I am a loose cannon
(MAYBE???), but I went barrelling ahead.  make install clean, 
gnomelogalyzer.sh, portupgrade -a and pkgdb -F stuff below.

===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
Please run the gnomelogalyzer, available from
"http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/gnomelogalyzer.sh", which will diagnose the
problem and suggest a solution. If - and only if - the gnomelogalyzer 
cannot
solve the problem, report the build failure to the FreeBSD GNOME team at
gnome <at> FreeBSD.org, and attach (a)
"/usr/ports/devel/glibmm/work/glibmm-2.16.0/config.log", (b) the output of
the failed make command, and (c) the gnomelogalyzer output. Also, it might
be a good idea to provide an overview of all packages installed on your 
system
(i.e. an `ls /var/db/pkg`). Put your attachment up on any website,
copy-and-paste into http://freebsd-gnome.pastebin.com, or use send-pr(1) 
with
the attachment. Try to avoid sending any attachments to the mailing list
(gnome <at> FreeBSD.org), because attachments sent to FreeBSD mailing lists are
usually discarded by the mailing list software.

Generating build log. Please wait... done.

The cause of your build failure is not known to gnomelogalyzer.sh.  Before
e-mailing the build log to the FreeBSD GNOME team at 
freebsd-gnome <at> FreeBSD.org,
TRY EACH OF THE FOLLOWING:

   * If you are generating your own logfile, make sure to generate it with
     something similar to:
           "make 2>&1 | tee /path/to/logfile" (sh/bash/ksh/zsh) or
           "make |& tee /path/to/logfile" (csh/tcsh)
         * Make sure your cvsup(1) configuration file specifies the 
'ports-all'
           collection
         * Run cvsup(1) and attempt the build again
         * Check /usr/ports/UPDATING for information pertinent to your 
build
           failure
         * 99% of the commonly reported build failures can be solved by
           running "portupgrade -a"
         * Read the FAQs at http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/
         * Search the archives of freebsd-gnome <at> FreeBSD.org.  Archives can 
be
           searched at http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/index.html#search

If you have not performed each of the above suggestions, don't bother 
asking
for help.  The chances are good that you'll simply be told to perform one 
of
the aforementioned steps.
