I'm using USB wireless mouse and keyboard interacting with one RF USB receiver connected to the one USB port. My keyboard works super fine. But mouse doesn't in FreeBSD. Under Linux mouse works. When I connect any other mouse it works. I'm sure because of HID support: mouse and keyboard in this wireless set are parts of one HID device. Maybe some good guys knows how configure FreeBSD for better HID support (maybe someone provide patch on /usr/src/dev/usb/*hid*.c) Thanks in any case for your answer!!!
