Subject:   Lost USB mouse in RELENG_6 upgrade (July to December)
Message-ID:  <20071206202343.GA20958@cons.org>

Upgrading my Thinkpad from RELENG_6 as of July to yesterday's I lost
my USB mouse.  The notebook's mousepad still works.  I used to have
both, the USB mouse would be assigned to work in X11 when I plugged it
in.

Something about moused or a layer below it changed.  I can make the
USB mouse work by manually calling moused like this:
  moused -p /dev/ums0 -t auto
But then I lose the mousepad, of course.

I updated all /etc files, UPDATING doesn't mention mouse or USB.

The problem is not X11 specific.  Calling moused on a console I can
see that the console mouse cursor works for the pad but not for the
USB mouse.

Any ideas how to fix this? I assume I now have to either
- tell moused to monitor /dev/ums0?
- configure something below moused that inserts the usb mouse commands
  into /dev/psm's stream?

Thanks
Martin
