I just finished my first FreeBSD 6.0 installation using the two CD image files, and my first problem is, that I can't get this optical wireless mouse to work. The Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop consists of the receiver, connected to the PC by USB (also has a PS/2 connector, but it is not supposed to have both connected at the same time, and that connector is only to be connected to the keyboard jack), a wireless keyboard and a wireless optical mouse. The keyboard is working, but the mouse does not do anything (except the LED always on). Using the GENERIC kernel, USB is enabled (ohci & ehci on an Asus A7N8X deluxe motherboard), the mouse is found during boot as follows: ----- cut ----- # cat /var/run/dmesg.boot | grep ums ums0: Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop\M-. 1.00, rev 2.00/17.17, addr 3, iclass 3/1 ums0: 3 buttons and Z dir. ----- cut ----- usbd + moused get started, /dev/ums0 and /dev/sysmouse are present, but no mousepointer and no mouse-reaction. "cat /dev/sysmouse" or killing moused & "cat /dev/ums0" does not do anything while moving the mouse. It is definitely no hardware-problem, because everything is working just fine in WinXP & Gentoo Linux. I already searched with google, in the bugreports, the mailinglists, bsdforums.org & bsdforen.de, and I could find quite some reports about similar problems with Microsoft / Logitech and other mice, but no solution (some patches were mentioned, but I could not find any success confirmation). So is there any hope at all, to get that mouse to work properly? If this is a commonly known issue, I wonder why nobody found a solution yet, some reports date back to the year 2003 with some older versions of FreeBSD. As I have read, USB support should have been improved in 6.0, and such a problem really should not be present any more. P.S. I was not quite sure, if this is the correct mailinglist to post that message in. I am subscribed to 6 FreeBSD-mailinglists ATM, but freebsd-questions seems to be the most popular one.
