Firstly, sorry if this is a bit of a newbie question. I am quite new to
FreeBSD (though fairly experienced at Linux). Almost everything in FreeBSD
is fine, except that no matter what I try I cannot get the (USB) mouse to
work.
I have scoured the handbook, and Googled, but to no avail.
This is 9.0-RELEASE on amd64 - fully updated.
I don't need the mouse in consoles, but I do want it in X.
Here is my xorg.conf in its entirety:
