What's in /etc/usbd.conf? Thanks so much for that suggestion; in /etc/usbd.conf I found this line: device "Mouse" devname "ums[0-9]+" attach "/usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/${DEVNAME} -I /var/run/moused.${DEVNAME}.pid" Surely this is not the way things should work? What about the moused_* lines in rc.conf? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
