NAME

ums – USB mouse driver

CONTENTS

SYNOPSIS

To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: device ums device uhci device ohci device usb

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

ums_load="YES"

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
