Hi there,

I was tyring to get my scroll mouse to work in in X last night and I wanted
to give X direct
access to /dev/ums0.

Now it came up as busy, but my rc.conf file had moused_enabled="NO".  So my
next check
was in USBD.CONf and in there as soon as a device is attached to UMS[0-9] it
will attempt
to load moused with whatever parameters are listed.

So I commented out all that stuff and then when I rebooted there was no
moused and X had full
access to my mouse.

(Oh and for the record I've got a Microsoft Option IntelliMouse with Z Dir
and the only way to
get the scrolly thingie to work was to give X full access as was suggested a
little while ago).

Hope this helps a little!

Regards,
Alistair.
