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.
       Supported 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
