FWIW- I have a MS Optical USB cordless mouse on my 5.2.1 box, connected to a Belkin OmniCube 4-port kvm switch with a usb-ps2 adapter, and it works great in both X and console windows. My XF86Config mouse section looks like this - Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "SysMouse" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "ZaxisMapping" "4 5" # Mouse-speed setting for PS/2 mouse. Option "Emulate3Buttons" EndSection And my rc.conf contains these lines - moused_enable="YES" moused_port="/dev/psm0" moused_type="auto" usbd_enable="YES" I wonder now if the usbd_enable line is even needed since the mouse is being run thru the ps2 adapter. On the bottom of my mouse it says 'Wireless Optical Mouse Blue'. I haven't made any mods/changes to the kernel, it is completely generic.
