Hi!

Im having a problem on making a wireless optical mouse work with
FreeBSD-5.3. It was a "Wireless Optical 3D Mouse (A4Tech)". It works
fine with Windows XP. I re-configured my Xorg using "xorgconfig" and
has specified that the corrent mouse port is "/dev/ums0".

When I "startx", I got an error shown below:
-------------
Using log file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/ums0=20
 Device busy
Mouse1: cannot open input device
PreInit failed for input device "Mouse1"
No core pointer

Fatal server error:
failed to initialize core devices
------------

* Observations:=20
- usbd_enble=3D"YES" in rc.conf
- after reboot, i can see my mouse pointer when in a console screen
- "moused -p /dev/ums0" is running in background
- it seems FreeBSD-5.3 detects the mouse and moused shows it works

Why is it that I cant launch X and shows me that error? What do I need to d=
o?
