If you search the archive, you'll find this problem is mentioned off and on in -current postings. I too cannot use my USB mouse in -current. I used to be able to, but that's when I could turn apic on and off in the kernel. Turning it off broke other things as well, but the brokeness is partially a function of my mboard/bios, and partially because of the implementation of -current. Take a look at the output from 'vmstat -i' and look to see what interrupt ums0 is sharing. Try to hardcode an unused interrupt to the USB controller in BIOS (sometimes just disabling the PS/2 port in BIOS works as well). If FreeBSD reads the table correctly (check with a verbose boot, my interrupt setting never takes) then you should get your mouse back to working in -current. -- othermark atkin901 at nospam dot yahoo dot com (!wired)?(coffee++):(wired);
