Hi,

below is a re-post of a previous message of mine. I haven't been able to resolve the 
problem yet and would really appreciate any suggestions anybody could give.

I've had a look on the net and haven't had any luck finding decent FAQs on this. I've 
also tried a FAQ I found on the xfree86 site with no luck.

any suggestions?

many thanks,

Michael

Hi,

I've been trying to configure a USB microsoft wheelmouse. I was previously using
a Logitech USB wheelmouse that worked fine under BSD. 

I've tried to play with moused a bit and with /stand/sysinstall..
/stand/sysinstall can get the mouse going, but the settings it writes to /etc/rc.conf 
don't start the mouse correctly on the next boot.

(oh and the microsoft mouse detects properly under dmesg on bootup)

whenever I try to point moused at /dev/ums0 I get a message like "/dev/ums0
device busy"..

what should I be doing to make it work properly? (suggestions of any sites to
read are welcome.. I couldn't find any useful ones)

thanks,

Michael Ross
