Correct. It is only needed for getting the mouse work in the console. With vt having replaced sc as the console driver, the console functionality has seen several facettes of decay, which is sad, but seems to be required to keep X happy. Still there is one thing I seem to remember from the thread: At some point, you said that you've obtained debugging data from the psm driver directly (not via "moused -d"), and with the hw.psm.synaptics_support="1" setting in /boot/loader.conf, you did not get any reaction from that channel. This is strange. Even though X input does not need moused support, is surely needs psm support (via the "sysmouse" hook). I'm not sure this looks entirely correct - but I don't have (and don't like to use) touchpads, so I cannot provide any further ideas. It's just my gut feeling, resulting in memories of low-level programming done decades ago, that you should at least get _some_ kind of reaction from the psm driver whenever an event happens on the touchpad. > > If I remember correctly, mouse input in X is managed independently > > from mouse in console mode, so you should probably concentrate on > > X and the corresponding configuration file fragments that nowadays > > reside in the /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ directory. > > Will try with these.. and play with libinput.. thanks :-) Make sure you have xf86-input-synaptics and libsynaptics installed. X should then detect the corresponding device automatically and load the appropriate drivers and subsystems. > The worst thing is that one time it was working correctly.. no clue why ;-) Maybe it was on an older FreeBSD version?
