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.
