Specifically, it's a USB radio-linked Track-ball. I just took it off the older linux system, and since it works exactly like a mouse, I tried to bring up the /dev/ums0, but on running that, I see no mouse cursor. I used the -m on option to vidcontrol, to get the mouse cursor on, but that didn't do it, I still see no cursor. The dmesg seemed to find the usb device fine, and so did usbdevs. The kernel is the default one from the boot image on the website, I have not compiled my own system yet. X11 can't see the mouse either .... well, actually, X11 at least displays the mouse cursor, but the mouse refuses to move. I have expoerimented with /dev/sysmouse and /dev/ums0, using protocol Auto, but it won't work. I sure could use some help. The machine is on-net, if someone wants to poke around a bit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C & Java programming, FreeBSD, chuckr@chuckr.org | electronics, communications, and SF/Fantasy.
