As I get further into the documentation, I should be seeing a /dev/usm0 or 
other numbered device in my /dev folder. When my system boots up, it sees the 
mouse as /dev/uhid0 but moused will not recognize the mouse when I type
moused -p /dev/uhid0 -t auto
Do I need to create a usm0 device and link it somehow or is this just a case 
of faulty hardware detection?
The touch pad mouse works just fine.
Thanks
