Lost USB mouse in RELENG_6 upgrade (July to December)
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?
