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 accelerated
     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
