More info: It partially works on Linux. Xandros Desktop 3 autodetects the mouse (linux 2.6.9 / xorg 6.7.0) The pointer works but not the buttons. Even xev doesn't show anything at all when I move the pointer into the xev window and press the buttons. Tapping in the touchpad area doesn't produce a button-press either. But the pointer follows your finger just fine. dmesg: [...] uhci_hcd 0000:00:11.2: VIA Technologies, Inc.

The linux & windows experience suggests no special driver needs to be written, merely get an existing driver attached to the device. How do I go about that? When linux is running and working, what can I look at in order to find details that freebsd needs? and then where do I use them on freebsd? Something from /proc? translated into a patch somewhere in the freebsd kernel? I'll try a newer linux and newer xorg than above presently. The offer still stands, no one has claimed their $150 wireless keyboard. Thanks Brian K.
