Hi, I am very new to FreeBSD, but I'm trying to learn how to use it. This is = made very difficult by not having a mouse. I have tried searching on Google for a few hours, but haven't fixed the = problem yet. Anyway, here it is: My mouse is a "Logitech Cordless Desktop iTouch" optical USB mouse. /dev/ums0 does exist. If I try to set up the mouse deamon in /stand/sysinstall the cursor will = not move when set to Auto (or any other protocol). If I do "moused -p /dev/ums0" I get "moused: unable to open /dev/ums0: = Device busy". dmesg finds everything alright: ums0: Logitech USB Receiver, rev 1.10/13.10, addr 2, iclass 3/1 ums0: 5 buttons and Z dir. When I try to use X everything is OK, but I just can't mouse the cursor. That is all the information that I think might be useful, sorry if I = left something obvious out, but I have only been unsing FreeBSD for 3 = days; if I have, just tell me what (and how to get the information). Thanks, Shaun Friedle
