ums - USB mouse driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your
kernel configuration file:
device ums
device hid
device uhci

Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the
following line in loader.conf(5):

DESCRIPTION
The ums driver provides support for mice that attach to the USB port.
Supported are mice with any number of buttons and mice with a wheel.
The /dev/ums0 device presents the mouse as a sysmouse or mousesystems
type device. See moused(8) for an explanation of these mouse types.
SYSCTL VARIABLES
The following variables are available as both sysctl(8) variables and
loader(8) tunables:
hw.usb.ums.debug
Debug output level, where 0 is debugging disabled and larger
values increase debug message verbosity. Default is 0.
FILES
/dev/ums0 blocking device node
EXAMPLES
Use the first USB mouse on the system as your console mouse:
moused -p /dev/ums0 -t auto
To be able to use the USB mouse under X, change the "Pointer" section in
xorg.conf to the following:
Device /dev/ums0
Protocol Auto
If you want to be able to use the mouse in both virtual consoles as well
as in X change it to:
Device /dev/sysmouse
Protocol Auto
