Hi, I've recently become the proud owner of a Logitech DiNovo Desktop. I have it running fine in Windows 2k and Suse Linux 9.0,but I'm getting some problems with FreeBSD 5.2 Release. It has already been mentioned on freebsd-current somewhere that the mouse refuses to work on freebsd, although the keyboard support (inluding the seperate number pad or so-named 'media pad') is fine provided you disconnect the ps2 plug. The mouse however is recognised and assigned as ums0, but further nothing. On Suse both mouse and keyboard are fine, so I expect this will eventually be sorted in freebsd. In the meantime I'm trying to find a workaround. Owing to the fact that neither FreeBSD or Linux recognise the Logitech hub as a Bluetooth hub, it is necessary to add a BT dongle in a spare usb slot in order to connect to other devices. An ideal workaround to the mouse problem would therefore be to attach the mouse via the dongle. So far I've managed to pair with the mouse, and add an HID sdpchannel, but I don't know where to go from there. Presumably some sort of daemon is needed, but I have no idea how to start writing that, so if anyone ahs suggestions I'd be very grateful. Also, is it possible for the system to recognise the logitech hub as a bluetooth hub? Thanks Mike
