First, something i found odd, on two systems, is it seems, without having moused_enable="yes" in rc.conf, if you plug a usb mouse in, it wont work. i have tried everything i can think of, but it just wont work. It does start the process (as defined in usbd.conf) but there is no mouse cursor. if i turn on the moused in rc.conf it works fine, although i of course get an error message about psm0 since i dont have a mouse hooked to it. question is, is this a bug or by design, and if someone knows a work around. second thing, does anyone know of a patch/hack/etc to get the boot manager to recongnize a usb keyboard? the only way i can boot different drives is via a ps/2 keyboard.. theres gotta be a fix since alot of the name brand machines today have started removing ps/2 connections, so i must not be looking in the right places.. any help would be appreciated.. -- Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
