load the ums module by typing these command. you need to be root though.
# kldload ums
# moused -p /dev/ums0 -t auto
then see if the mouse daemon is running using top or ps.
---
if this does not work you may have to rebuild yoru kernel with the
following options
device ohci
device ums
--------------
Thanks. Upon issuing the command:
# kldload ums,
I get:
'kldload: can't load ums: file exists'.
But if I go to /dev, ums is not present. Are you sure kldload is the right
command?

i am positive.
The message basically means that the ums module is already. You can
check this by issuing the command
# kldstat
Yes, I have found it. It is under /usr/src/sys/modules. Shouldn't it be
under /dev? The second command you ask me to perform gives an error: 'no
such device ums0'. What should I do now?
