Something is really broken in this branch. Unlike you, I could always get my mouse to work by re-attaching it. You should perhaps take a look at the BIOS USB settings, so you could get at least the re-attaching work-around to work. BIOS settings that influence the behavior of USB mice are: - any "legacy USB support" settings - so-called "BIOS support for USB mice" Because -STABLE has been really frustrating, I migrated all my desktops to -CURRENT that has the new USB-v2 stack. The USB problems disappeared there. I'm overall satisfied with -CURRENT. I've always wanted to say that FreeBSD developers do a really great job on the -CURRENT branch. It's running very stable and has plenty of new features. I know I shouldn't recommend to migrate to -CURRENT, but I'm almost sure, it runs much better than every -CURRENT I've seen before and sometimes I have the impression that it's even nicer than the -STABLE branch. Everyone who does not like the buggy USB v1, could try to do a second installation on a free partition to get rid of the annoyances. -- Martin
