I'm tracking 7-STABLE. Recently.. within the last month or so.. my simple USB mouse stopped being detected at boot time. The /dev/ums0 device simply does not appear unless I unplug the mouse and plug it back in again. Then it is detected. I don't even know where to begin looking for answers to this one. Is there something I can do to force the system to rescan for my mouse to save me from crawling around on the floor whenever I reboot?

Strange thing, when I plug the mouse into a port that is connected directly to the motherboard (not via a hub), it is detected. When connected to a hub (the integrated hub on my P5K), it is not. Could it be that FreeBSD fires up the hub after trying to detect the mouse? Regards, Ronny Mandal -- Best regards Ronny Mandal

If so, try turning it off. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA

If all else fails you can always resort to the method above if your confidence is not very high on this method. And you can always second guess a port and then reinstall it when or if it gives you problems. ( /usr/bin/script /root/libchk_output /usr/local/sbin/libchk ) This process could actually take much more time and intervention than what is actually needed on some minimal systems so I will let you be the judge for your self on whether this may be right for you.
