A while back I posted description of the mouse part of a wireless usb keyboard not working on 5.4 this questio and got asked what happens when I cat /dev/uhid0 while moving the mouse, pressing the buttons etc.. http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?200507311722.52659.mistry.7 Then later someone else added the comment that the problem is that there is more than one device on one usb receiver and that 6.0 has the necessary usb updates to handle that: I can't find a link to that comment. Maybe they sent it directly rather than to either -current or -usb and I've deleted my copy since then. Well I have a 6.0 box now, cvsupped a couple days ago FreeBSD 6.0-RC1 (AMDEMON) #2: Wed Oct 12 05:28:36 EDT 2005 And so far as I can tell, it behaves exactly the same as 5.4. The keyboard works fine, no part of the mouse works at all. (I had to google up the boot: comand to set a atkbd0 flags hint and set the keyboard to legacy support in the bios in order to install, since the boot menu and it's usb keyboard option went away, but after that I could turn the legacy emulation option back off in the bios and the keyboad continues to work with no manual or loader.conf rc.conf hacks by me) I couldn't answer the first question by the time I received it but now I can. On 6.0 though the original question was for 5.4. Nothing happens. Specifically, cat appears to open the device ok, it sits there as long as I want until I ctrl-c, and outputs nothing. On the same box, it works fine plugging in a non-wireless usb keyboard that has a 2 port usb hub built-in, and a normal usb mouse already plugged into one of the ports on the keyboard. both the keyboard and mouse are recognized and a /dev/ums0 is created and usbd starts a moused on it. Again, it works fully, out of the box with no manual intervention on recent linux (suse 9.3 & up) Is it possible the multiple device recognition thing exists but is really in 7 instead of 6?
