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?

<From what you said earlier, i can deduce that the ums module is
*already* loaded. It seems that FreeBSD cannot de tect your mouse at
bootup. I don't really know what to do next. Could you tell me what
you get when you issue:
# cat /var/run/dmesg.boot | grep ums
uname -a will tell me what version of FreeBSD you are using
and
# uname -a
This can tell us what is detected at boot time.>
I'm having problems now. ums seems to have disappeared, at least when I go
to /usr/src/sys/modules, I cannot find it. However when I run:
# kldload ums
I get the same as before: "file exists". Konqueror cannot find ums either.
It found it when I wrote to you, but not anymore. I have been fiddling with
Konqueror manually in absence of a mouse and I highlighted the module path
to be able to read it complete and then I hit enter to leave it as it was.
Do you think I might made it hidden?
The first command you ask me to perform gives nothing under these
circumstances. uname -a, gives 'FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE', and gives the time and
says I am using the GENERIC kernel, that's all.
Teilhard.
