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?
