Hi, I am very new to FreeBSD, but I'm trying to learn how to use it. This is made very difficult by not having a mouse.
I have tried searching on Google for a few hours, but haven't fixed the problem yet. Anyway, here it is:
My mouse is a "Logitech Cordless Desktop iTouch" optical USB mouse.
Hmmmm - I can remember some people reporting problems with these mice - but I had one that worked flawlessly.
/dev/ums0 does exist.
If I try to set up the mouse deamon in /stand/sysinstall the cursor will not move when set to Auto (or any other protocol).
If I do "moused -p /dev/ums0" I get "moused: unable to open /dev/ums0: Device busy".
That's becuase there should already be a moused running. usbd will start a new moused when it discovers a mouse connected.
Do a 'ps ax|grep moused' and see if moused is already running
dmesg finds everything alright: ums0: Logitech USB Receiver, rev 1.10/13.10, addr 2, iclass 3/1 ums0: 5 buttons and Z dir.
When I try to use X everything is OK, but I just can't mouse the cursor.
Then in your X config you should be able to use /dev/sysmouse
Hope that gets you up and running!
Cheers.
P.S. There's a mailing list for UK FreeBSD users - have a look at http://ukug.uk.freebsd.org - it can go pretty quiet but is good for UK-related chat ;)
