I'm with Mark on this one. I have a USB Microsoft Optical IntelliMouse=20 Explorer that works great in the console and in x. I'm using FreeBSD 4.7= so=20 it already had usb support added into the kernel out of the box. I have=20 usbd_enabled=3D"YES" in my rc.conf file and I'm using /dev/sysmouse. The= only=20 difference between my XF86conf file is that you use "Auto" while I was us= ing=20 "MouseSystems" so I will change that, but again, my current USB mouse wor= ks=20 fine. Can someone please help us here?
