I have a Toshiba P25-609 that I am running 5.2.1-Release on. I normally use this computer as a portable desktop and always have a USB mouse plugged into it. As long as the mouse is plugged in when I boot it works great, but if I unplug it while the system is running and then plug it back in again it stops working. (Or if it is unplugged when I boot and then plug it in after the system is up it doesn't work.) I have tried 3 different mice (all optical) and each of them behaves the same. I assume that there is just something stupid that I am missing to make it work, but for the life of me I can't figure it out. If I plug it in while the system is running the tracking LED won't even come on. I have also tried a usb keyboard and it doesn't work even if it is plugged in while booting. (It works during the bios stage, and in the beastie menu, but after the system is up it stops working. I can turn the numlock light and caps light on after FreeBSD is up and running, but I can't use it to type in a terminal. (The keyboard works fine in both Windows and Linux on this same computer so I know it isn't a junk keyboard.) The track pad also doesn't work at all. (In windows it is listed as an ALPS on a PS/2 port. It also works fine in Linux) I have searched through a ton of archives and a ton of google pages, but can't seem to find anyone with my same situation. Most just don't work at all (like my keyboard), but nobody seems to have a mouse that works till they unplug it and then plug it back in. If anyone can give me some pointers I would really appreciate it. I'm not sure what information you need from me, but just ask and I will supply whatever information you may need. I don't know if it matters, but this is a P4 with Hyper Threading machine using a kernel compiled for SMP. Parts of the kernel config that I assume are relative to this problem: device atkbdc # AT keyboard controller device atkbd # AT keyboard device psm # PS/2 mouse # USB support device uhci # UHCI PCI->USB interface device ohci # OHCI PCI->USB interface device usb # USB Bus (required) #device udbp # USB Double Bulk Pipe devices device ugen # Generic device uhid # "Human Interface Devices" device ukbd # Keyboard device ulpt # Printer device umass # Disks/Mass storage - Requires scbus and da device ums # Mouse device urio # Diamond Rio 500 MP3 player device uscanner # Scanners # USB Ethernet, requires mii device aue # ADMtek USB ethernet device axe # ASIX Electronics USB ethernet device cue # CATC USB ethernet device kue # Kawasaki LSI USB ethernet Relative parts of rc.conf: usbd_enable="YES" moused_enable="YES" moused_type="auto" moused_port="/dev/psm0" I should point out that the device psm0 doesn't exist in /dev. I'm not sure if that is something that should be dynamically created like ums0 or if it is something that I am supposed to create myself. If I'm supposed to create it manually I would really appreciate somebody telling me how to properly create it. I have also changed it to say moused_port="/dev/ums0" in rc.conf but that doesn't seem to help the usb mouse work either. It appears to me as if the usb daemon isn't creating the device when it is plugged in. Doing a ps -ax | grep usb I get. 47 ?? DL 0:00.00 (usb0) 48 ?? DL 0:00.00 (usbtask) 49 ?? DL 0:00.00 (usb1) 50 ?? DL 0:00.00 (usb2) 51 ?? DL 0:00.00 (usb3) 385 ?? Ss 0:00.00 /usr/sbin/usbd So it appears to me that the daemon is running properly, but what do I know :) Thanks, Chris Miller
