Howdy. I'm running (today's) FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE and I'm having trouble getting the buttons on my USB mouse to work. The mouse movement is fine, but clicking does nothing. I've tried both the Microsoft optical mouse and a Kensington standard mouse. I had this problem with the release version of 4.0 installed from the cdrom which is why I cvsup'd to stable. I'm running X + KDE (from the package system). I added: Device /dev/ums0 Protcol Auto ... to my XF86Config per the ums man page. However, I have disabled the launch of the moused daemon in /etc/usbd.conf as that prevented X windows from launching. If I had moused running, X windows would fail with the error "Cannot open mouse (Device busy)". This is on a new Sony PCG-Z505HE laptop using the built-in USB port. Note that if I switch to using the PS2 device for the mouse in XF86Config the trackpad on the laptop works great, including the buttons. Same with using a serial mouse via the port extender. I have also tried not running KDE and just booting plain X windows with a xterm and the mouse buttons do not work in that case either. Also also, I've tried 'cat'ing the /dev/ums0 device and the binary garbage coming out does appear to change when I hold down the buttons. Any help would be much appreciated. I am eager to provide any additional info that would help troubleshoot this. Thanks! To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
