I am having issues getting my USB mouse running. I don't get any error

moused).
Any suggestions?
I had this. I had to start some daemon before starting X... what was it
now... devd? usbd? psmd? moused? Something like that, anyway. And I had to
specify the "mouse port" IIRC. You know, something like "moused -p
/dev/ums0".

I tried that, but I get nothing. Should I expect to see garbage from #cat
/dev/sysmouse and then move the mouse around? Can you do that in console
mode, and see if that gives you anything?

moused(1) with usbd(1). Don't forget to compile uhid, ums, and all other
dependent drivers into the kernel, either statically or as modules (man ums,
uhid will get you on your way here).
Try moused with auto detection, using /dev/ums0. If you don't see anything
about a USB mouse being attached in dmesg, you don't have the right drivers
compiled for your kernel. If you do, moused / usbd hasn't been setup yet.
cat /dev/sysmouse will yield you the info you seek in the end, but you
should try /dev/ums0 first, because that will work regardless of whether or
not moused is started.
Good luck :),

The mouse seems to get detected perfectly and this is the GENERIC kernel
build that has the modules. The mouse gets detected and listed at boot
time. However, I don't think I am getting data out of the mouse port.
I beleive in the past I have checked with
#cat /dev/ums0
and if things are working corectly, cat display binary garbage on the
screen when you wiggle the mouse. Try this after killing moused (moused
makes ums0 unavailable).
