Hi, I'm trying to get a Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop working on a Mac Pro running today's -STABLE amd64. The "Desktop" has a single wireless puck that supports a keyboard and a mouse. The puck has two connectors, a usb dongle and a old-fashioned mouse connector (din-9?). I've had the set working with -STABLE i386 on "normal" pc hardware but only if I hooked up both the usb and the "mouse" connector. The mac pro only supports usb hardware. The mouse shows up in dmesg as ums0: Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop\M-. 1.00, rev 2.00/17.17, addr 3, iclass 3/1 and a moused gets started for it automagically (presumably by usbd). Plugging in a wired usb mouse works fine. I've enabled USB_DEBUG and tried fiddling various sysctl knobs (hw.usb.ums.debug, hw.usb.ukbd.debug, hw.usb.debug) and I kind of think that the mouse might not even be talking out of the puck's usb connector but out of the standard mouse connector. Both the mouse and the keyboard work fine on the Mac using stock OS X and also after loading Microsoft's drivers. Is it possible that the puck needs to somehow be told to route the mouse out the usb connector? Any other suggestions? Thanks, g.
