... and you have to care that the device isn't already exclusively
used by moused.
Apropos moused: I didn't get it working anyway with my USB mouse (a
Logitech Marble Mouse USB). Moused (with options -d and -f) seems to
see everything I do with the mouse, but no cursor appears on the
text console.
According to the FreeBSD handbook at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/faq/compatibility-kbd-mice.html#MOUSED,
you could enable it with "vidcontrol -m on" -- but we don't seem to
have that. so I just filed a wishlist bugreport against freebsd-utils
to include it: http://bugs.debian.org/544083
Anyway, I didn't get moused and X to have both a working mouse. Even
with an X.org config with
Option "AutoAddDevices" "no"
and
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
Option "Protocol" "SysMouse"
EndSection
because without them, it tries to open /dev/usm0, is denied access and
unloads (!) the mouse driver, even if /dev/sysmouse was successfully
found as a mosue just a second before. *grml*
It accepted /dev/sysmouse as mouse, but failed later (cursor doesn't
move) and I can't determine the reason from the log:

Anyone an idea?
