FreeBSD+Xorg-7.05 = mouse + keyboard issues
Hi,
I've just installed FreeBSD 8.1 - seems it's OK except the Xorg server is unable to detect a mouse and a keyboard. I tired several options in the xorg.conf file but none work. This version of Xorg server relies on HAL to detect devices. Know I am thinking about two possible solutions: to downgrade the X server or to install HAL. But maybe there is a simple solution of my problems. Any help are very welcomed. |
Add this to /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
Code:
Section "ServerFlags" |
The problem was the "DontZap" option. Now everything is OK.
I spent hours installing FreeBSD 8.1 - is there a painless way to upgrade to 8.2 ? |
Acutally yes, there is, this is the schema for that upgrade:
Code:
# freebsd-update upgrade -r 8.2-RELEASE |
Happily it is the new installation - there are no custom settings. What about the packages - I've got a bunch of them already installed. But I am aware most about USB wifi cards - this is the only way for the permanent internet connection - via wireless router. I have a look at HCL for USB wifi cards - it seems for me it may be difficult to get one of these cards.

For packages, it would be something like that (after upgrade):
Code:
# pkg_info -qoa > PACKAGES |
