NAME
     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
	   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.  Sup-
     ported 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
