I seem to be somewhat clueless regarding PC mice. I just set up a FreeBSD 1.0 system on my PC. I've added the XFree86 2.0 binary distribution and, with the help of a friend, gotten it to run with my #9 GXE card. However, I can't get the mouse to work. I have the mouse distributed with my PC package from Dell. It's the "standard" (don't know if I can say that word in this context) two-button Logitech mouse one sees on PC's quite often. It plugs into the mouse I/O port next to the keyboard port on the back of my PC. So, my question is: How can I get the system to see the mouse? Is there a special file that I need to create (ie with MAKEDEV)? Thanks in advance for any and all replys.
