Hi John, Are you absolutely sure you have the ums device loaded on the VIA machine (either statically compiled into your kernel or loading the module in /boot/loader.conf)? It might also be worth running usbd in verbose mode (/usr/sbin/usbd -d -v) and unplugging/replugging the mouse to see what, if anything, is being recognised. Having to preload ums threw me for a while -- I had naively assumed that usbd would load it for me when it saw something that claimed to be a mouse, but apparently it doesn't work that way :-( Apologies if you've already tried these steps... it's all I can think of that might help you.
