Yes, I did that.
But, that doesn't seem to work. I get device busy, cab't open error!
in /etc/rc.conf I have usbd_enable="YES"
in /etc/X11/XF86Config, for the pointer section, I have:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
EndSection
This didn't work, so I tried now:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/ums0"
EndSection
This doesn't work either!
At the console, I tested,
#moused -p /dev/ums0 -t auto
and this gives unable to open device, device busy signal! I've disabled both
serial ports and parallel ports so there are enough irqs available for USB
mouse to use. FreeBSD claims Kensington MIAB optical mouse is supported.
