From memory you can reference a specific mouse as /dev/wsmouse0 or /dev/wsmouse1 but there is also a /dev/wsmouse that merges all the mouse inputs together. /dev/wsmouse is normally what the X server references which allows you to use any mouse on the system. I'd be astonished if this didn't just work assuming you have USB HID support compiled into your kernel (its in GENERIC and has been for years). Most USB mice are of this type (wired and wireless) as it means they work out of the box on pretty much every operating system under the sun. Other things to check: 1. Is the mouse turned on? (they usually have a sneaky power switch on the underside). 2. Is the battery inside the mouse okay? From a quick check with mine I still get the ums device even with the mouse turned off but obviously it doesn't make the pointer move. Mike

UH KAY.

I think "port 11 addr 10: ... " is the new mouse. On Sat, Jul 15, 2023 at 8:15 AM Todd Gruhn wrote: > > UG!!! > > I just looked; I found it.

Re: Talk to mouse || ID a mouse
UG!!! I just looked; I found it. I did not think until you mentioned. Now I can play with this...

I can tell you _why_ you would get that error message, but, I just can't see _how_ you could get into a situation which would occasion this error. Can you: a) the exact URL of the install image you wrote to the USB disk? b) show the output of these commands (after exiting the installer): mount ls -l /dev/pt* After that, running this should let you proceed with the installation: mount -t ptyfs ptyfs /dev/pts -RVP
