I got a Logitech mouse & keyboard (radio connected, I believe). Hooked it up, and the keyboard worked, but _not_ the mouse. I just can't get moused to recognize the mouse at all. When I run 'moused -p /dev/psm0 -t auto' I get the response 'moused: unable to open /dev/psm0: Device not configured'. I have no idea how to configure the device. I've attempted to use XF86Setup but can't find a mouse setting that works. (It should be PS/2 and mouse device /dev/psm0. But that fails every time I try.) I need to enable the mouse to run first in FreeBSD. Then I should (somehow) be able to configure it to run in XFree86. What should I do? Thanks for any help!!!
