NAME
       ums -- USB mouse	driver

SYNOPSIS
       device ums

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.
       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 xorg.conf to the	following

	     Device /dev/ums0
	     Protocol Auto

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

       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
