Hello, I have a usb (bus?) mouse and sometimes when I start my

do is to unplug it and plug it again and it is detected.
I use linux also, and I have never experienced it there, so...I
just would
like to know if there is a command line to restart the mouse
device, I am
sure it would detect.
like usbmouse restart
restarting usb device...
You know what I mean?
Yeah, I do. But I think the issue might be in your bios.
See, some BIOSes have an option that makes your USB mouse or keyboard
appear as a PS/2 device to the operating system so it can be used in
older operating systems without USB support. So, FBSD is seeing your
mouse as a PS/2 device, and it's not configured for it to work like
that., until you unplug and replug it. Then it gets handled by FBSD
as an USB device and therefore works.
So... open your bios config (reboot and it should say something like
"hit F1 to enter setup", if it doesn't, try tapping F1, F12, Delete,
Tab on startup). Look for something called "Legacy Emulation". Mine's
called "Legacy Keyboard Emulation", but it handles the mouse too. You
need to switch that off.
xorgcfg didn't help, it is more like freebsd doesn't feel the mouse is
there, it doesn't work at shell also, when it wants not to work.
But after rebooting once/or just unplug/plug it again it works,
kinda crazy
ain't that?
I repeat, there's nothing wrong with my hardware, it works pretty
well at
other platforms, I just need the command line to do what the system
do when
I plug it back to detect it.
Thanks.
