Well, you don't _have_ to use usbd, but otherwise you have to run all the commands to enable devices manually, which can be a pain. > One question that I have already is: why does the FAQ ask you to enable both > ohci and uhci? don't you just need one or the other? You only need one, but if you don't know which one you need, enabling both will ensure that you have the right one turned on. >>How do you know it is actually failing? > > Umm, because it's not working. ;) Well, you see, that doesn't tell me anything. Have you ran 'moused -p /dev/ums0' and then tested the mouse for example? usbd(8) will automate some of that (since it already runs moused(8) automagically). You do have to enable the devices before you can use them. See the ums(4) and ukbd(4) manpages. > BTW, did you make any progress toward USB support statically linked into a > GENERIC kernel? It's in -current right now, along with USB support in sysinstall. Right now an AT keyboard is still needed during install because of the kernel's userconfig however. I hope to MFC it in time for 4.1. > John -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.cslab.vt.edu/~jobaldwi/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
