Hi there,

I posted this question yesterday, but I guess the original mail lacked
some interesting info, so I'm going to rehash now, with more strings
attached. :)

I'm running 4.4 with custom kernel. Among other things this I ripped out
was everything USB. I had no USB devices, so no wonder. No I need to
switch from a PS/2 mouse to a USB one, and thought I could save me the
hassle of make (install|build)kernel and reboot. So I did this (with
both mice plugged in, of course):

# kldload /modules/usb.ko
# killall moused
# moused -p /dev/ums0 -t auto
moused: unable to open /dev/ums0: Device not configured

And this is, moreless, where I stopped. Now, two questions:

1) is it possible to use USB devices without kernel support (ie. through
usb.ko)?
2) if so, what should I do to achieve this?

Being a pretty much newbie, I don't know much about the /dev/ work, so
if I did something glaringly stupid or missed something obvious, please
point it out to me.

TIA
