While the latter is certainly true, it's most probably not the root of your problem. The problem with these mouse/keyboard combo devices is that FreeBSD's HID (Human Interface Device Standard) implementation is very limited and supports only the most basic devices. I'm currently working on restructuring and fixing our HID code (which includes the mouse driver), but as I'm short on time, progress is currently slow. You might however, if you are running 6.x, try the following kernel module: http://people.freebsd.org/~markus/stuff/ums.ko Build a kernel without "device ums" and load the above mentioned kernel module via kldload(8). Please report back, if it works for you or not.
