Hello.

I am trying to get a Logitech USB mouse to function under FreeBSD
4.4-stable.  Unfortunately, everything that I've tried from the handbook
and FreeBSD FAQ results with a non-functional mouse.

I have the following in my kernel config:

device  uhci
device  ohci
device  usb
device  ums

/dev/ums0 already exists.  I ran MAKEDEV anyway, with no change.

'usbd' comes up with no errors.

'dmesg' reports finding ums0, and also correctly reports that it is a
Logitech receiver.  'usbdevs' also reports the same.

'vidcontrol -m on' returns with no output, yet, I have no mouse in console
mode.  I'm not even going to attempt getting this to work in X until I
figure out why it's not even coming up in console mode.

I've searched through dejanews as well as the problem reports on
freebsd.org with no solutions.  Is this a known issue with the current
release?  There are quite a lot of recent posts on dejanews with people
stating the same problem- this coming from a release that is supposed to
support USB mice "out of the box."

If there is something obvious that I am missing, I'd appreciate a
suggestion or three.

Thank you for your time with this matter,
John Wilson
