System: FreeBSD angel.raggedclown.intra 4.5-STABLE FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE #7: Sun Feb 17 19:04:21 CET 2002 toor@angel.raggedclown.intra:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ANGEL-S i386

Using Logitech USB cordless optical mouse.
Others have reported same USB mouse problem in -questions.

>Description:

In order to get a USB mouse to work you need to have 
moused_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf.
However on booting the following error is generated:

moused: unable to open /dev/psm0 : Device not configured

Note the following lines from my /etc/rc.conf

usbd_enable="YES"
#moused_port="/dev/psm0"
#moused_port="/dev/mouse"
moused_type="auto"
moused_enable="YES"

It seems to me that you shouldn't need moused_enabled, but it has some kind
of side-effect when the system tries to enable it that allows a USB mouse to
work.

>How-To-Repeat:

Self-evident.

>Fix:

None found.
