I said in my original message that I was on 6.0-STABLE, but this
appears to have been inacurate (I was judging by the URLs printed by
pkg_add -r ) - uname(1) reports that I'm on 6.1-BETA4.

Hmm, this is what I get upon disconnecting/reconnecting my receiver:

-
May  9 10:00:10 econ22 kernel: ukbd0: at uhub3 port 1 (addr 2)
disconnected
May  9 10:00:10 econ22 kernel: ukbd0: detached

May  9 10:00:15 econ22 kernel: ums0: 16 buttons and Z dir.


I found some references (I believe on freebsd-current from January, look
for "usb mouse support update plans") to a mouse showing up as a uhid
device instead of ums -- apparently, it may not be reporting itself as a
kind of mouse the USB mouse driver understands so it falls through to the
uhid device.

I'm not sure if you ever said, but are you on 6.0-RELEASE or something
newer?  I upgraded to 6.1, which fixed a lot of other unrelated things for
me.

Lennon,

Do you have a /dev/ums0 (my usb mouse device)?  Also, even when my mouse
didn't really work, disconnecting/reconnecting the receiver from the usb
port (moving to another or leaving in the same port) would generate log
messages that the mouse was being recognized correctly.

I was assuming that /dev/sysmouse would only exist if the system thought
there was a mouse somewhere, but I'm not sure about that.

Works wonderfully well now.

Thanks Stephanie, but unfortunately that didn't help here. I have
moved my receiver so close to the mouse that its hard to not bump
them, but the mouse still doesn't work.

What I have noticed since I sent my original message, is that
/dev/sysmouse exists even when only the non-working mouse is connected
nto the system. Does this mean that FreeBSD /is/ detecting the mouse
(and hence that I should be looking somewhere else than this list for
the problem), or does that file simply always exist?
