I have a ps/2 mouse attached to a HP mini-tower running FreeBSD 8.3, with
a stripped-down kernel (no loadable modules). I've apparently removed
something necessary for standard mouse functionality, but I have no clue as
to -what- is missing.
Gory details:
1) '/dev/psm0' exists and +is+ the mouse,
2) 'moused' detects the mouse: psm0 sysmouse Intellimouse
3) 'moused -d' properly reports mouse activity -- button press/release and
mouse motion.
4) 'vidcontrol -m on' reports "inappropriate ioctl for device".
5) *NO* '/dev/sysmouse' device present.
I'm building an ncurses-based app, and want to add mouse functionality.
The ncurses mouse-related functions return 'total failure' status (value 0).
I suspect that 5), above is the immediate issue, but can't find out 'who'
is (ir-)responsible for creating that psuedo-device.
Any/all pointers much appreciated.
