Wireless USB Mouse.
Can anyone point me to a good how-to regarding the setup of a wireless USB mouse that will be recognized in XFree86? I've got a Wireless MS Explorer mouse, and I've recomplied the kernel to ensure that the USB recognition stuff was in there, I rebuilt the driver in /dev, and the silly thing still won't recognize. Any ideas? His Faithful Servant, Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Mark, I am having the exact same problem. Does your mouse work other than in X? Mine does not work at all. Thomas P. Connolly Senior Development Engineer Colorado Engineering Experiment Station Inc.

RE: Wireless USB Mouse.
Nope, doesn't work at all. I've got a dual boot system with Windows, and it works fine if I boot windows, however can't seem to get the rascal to work at all in FreeBSDv4.5. Based on dmesg however, the port that the mouse is on is not being addressed in the Xconfigurator. As the USB ports are addressed and configured upon boot it identifys the mouse perfectly.

RE: Wireless USB Mouse.
I put the associated lines in my rc.conf file for boot, right? I've added lines into there. Do I still need to actually start the service?

RE: Wireless USB Mouse.
Thanks for the advice Walker. Please excuse the ignorance but I'm a newb. How can I tell if usbd is running or not? I have a usb optical mouse that works just fine in the console and x.

Re: Wireless USB Mouse.
yep, usbd is running. Can you think of anything else?

Re: Wireless USB Mouse.
I'm with Mark on this one. I have a USB Microsoft Optical IntelliMouse Explorer that works great in the console and in x. I'm using FreeBSD 4.7 so it already had usb support added into the kernel out of the box. I have usbd_enabled=YES in my rc.conf file and I'm using /dev/sysmouse. The only difference between my XF86conf file is that you use Auto while I was using MouseSystems so I will change that, but again, my current USB mouse works fine. Can someone please help us here?

I think that's automatic--usbd starts moused when it detects the USB mouse. Although the section in your rc.conf file is substantially different than mine, what version are you using of FreeBSD? 4.7-Stable. The moused commands are all specifically commented out in my rc.conf. I'm told I had to recompile the kernel, then remake a device, then add these lines to the rc.conf file. Can you help me understand? Sorry, don't know. My kernel config has all the USB devices enabled, just like in GENERIC. I don't recall remaking a device, although I might have. ums0 is shown in dmesg. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
