Okay, I owe you lots of  kudos !!

Did as you instructed:

	moused -p /dev/ums0
In my XF86Config file:



	Device "/dev/sysmouse"
	Protocol "Auto"

One thing though:

kbdcontrol appears not to have option : "-m on"

So in summary I have my usb keyboard  and usb mouse up and running and it works
with X 8)

	Tnks!
	Amancio
