Hope it isn't confusing. First s/mouse/keyboard/g Before rebooting I ran portmaster -a and updated hald. I then rebooted and my problem begain. Using a standad black terminal works wonderfully. It just needs: keymap="spanish.iso.acc.kbd" in rc.conf I've tried all the spanish maps to get the closest to my keyboard so the rc.conf seems correct. Before the reboot and hald upgrade, all was well. I haven't ever touched nor was I aware that a hal policy file existed. (Going to try killing hal first. It has always been a pain in the...... neck. Sounds like I need to disable hal and restart X and maybe all will be well again. Results. bsd terminal works great but X doesn't recognize the mouse. The problem is definitely hal. I hope it dies soon. Going to study hal a bit. Thanks, ed edReceived on Thu Jan 05 2012 - 16:34:49 UTC
