I recently installed FreeBSD 10 in VMware and I had problems getting the mouse and keyboard to work with Xorg. I solved this in the following manner.
I added these four lines to my /etc/rc.conf
file.
moused_enable="NO" moused_nondefault_enable="NO" hald_enable="YES" dbus_enable="YES" |
The /etc/rc.conf file looks like this.
hostname="deusexmachina" ifconfig_em0="DHCP" ifconfig_em0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv" sshd_enable="YES" # Set dumpdev to "AUTO" to enable crash dumps, "NO" to disable dumpdev="AUTO" vmware_guest_vmblock_enable="YES" vmware_guest_vmhgfs_enable="YES" vmware_guest_vmmemctl_enable="YES" vmware_guest_vmxnet_enable="YES" vmware_guestd_enable="YES" moused_enable="NO" moused_nondefault_enable="NO" hald_enable="YES" dbus_enable="YES" |
I booted Xorg without an xorg.conf file and it still works adequately. I can use Firefox 29 to browse the Internet and write this posting. So that is how to get Xorg working with FreeBSD 10. My wireless USB mouse works perfectly with FreeBSD through VMware workstation 10. This would work perfectly with a native bare metal installation of FreeBSD as well.
Thanks a lot for the post. Your solution worked
like a charm for me.
You are welcome.
