NAME
     ums -- USB mouse driver

SYNOPSIS
     device ums

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.  usb and
     one of uhci or ohci must be configured in the kernel as well.

     The /dev/ums device presents the mouse as a sysmouse or  mousesystems  type
     device.  See moused for an explanation of these mouse types.

FILES
     /dev/ums0	blocking device node

EXAMPLES
	   device ums

     Add the ums driver to the kernel.

	   moused -p /dev/ums0 -t auto

     Use the first USB mouse on the system as your console mouse.

     Change the "Pointer" section in XF86Config to the following

	   Device /dev/ums0
	   Protocol Auto

     to  be  able to use the USB mouse under X. When using the XiG accelerated X
     server, change the mouse device to /dev/ums0 and the mouse type  to  "Mous-
     eSystems".

     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

     For XFree86 3.3.1 the entry should be:

	   Device /dev/sysmouse
	   Protocol MouseSystems
