FBSD Release 7.1 ; weird usb mouse NON-DETECTION; /dev/ums0 ?

[Rick N]

Hi, thanks for the reply, I gotta get rid of my hotmail/msn accounts  :(, argh. gmail from now on;
 
anyway, unfortunately since then I have made vaious BIOS changes(which I forgot now), ..., and then re-installed a nice new
fresh "7.1-Release" version, and let good "old" sysinstall decide my usb-mouse device and voila,
NOW, everything works USB mouse-wise.
 
once again, thanks for pointing me to the most obvious flaw first -> namely ME, the driver ?!
:)
 
BTW: anyone notice in "sysinstall", and "xorgconfig" playing around with mice drivers and ports/protocols only brings up options like
old serial/PS2 mice which is fine, sysinstall user-interface obviously hasn't changed much over the years for some kind-of reason, but where is the USB mice option device for user awareness purposes ?
