Hi, unfortunately, I did all those but the mouse still don't work! At the
initial installation (fresh install from scratch), at one point the system asks
whether you have a USB mouse attached to the system or not, I answer "YES". I
don't see any mouse cursor. Maybe it will show when I boot. Well, I booted and
I get...... "Device busy" signal. Also, I believe the GENERIC kernel already
has USB compiled in. I don't think it's the mouse, but FreeBSD since this mouse
works flawlessly under both Windows and Linux (Redhat 7.1). I am thinking that
FreeBSD still has lack of support for Laptop computers.
Here's how my CUSTOM kernel configuration looks: I don't use mouse in syscons,
so I disabled it. (Also, since the GENERIC kernel doesn't seem to solve the
problem of getting USB mouse to work!)
