I have linux and freebsd in the same box. The mouse works perfectly in 
linux. So I am sure that its not the batteries. I rebooted few times to 
linux to test some things and mouse was working fine.

As a matter of fact I have USB keyboard and PS/2 keyboard connected at 
the same time. I can use both keyboards simultaneously in Linux but not 
in FreeBSD. I want to know also how I can use both keyboards 
simultaneously in FreeBSD. Because the ukbd man file says that I must 
disable ps/2 keyboard if I want to get usb keyboard as default. It is 
not really practical, although I disabled normal ps/2 keyboard...

And the mouse is not working at all. I tried everything. The transceiver 
base has both USB and PS/2 connectors. I tried to connect them both and 
only USB. With those 2 options the mouse works in Linux, If I only 
connect PS/2 then the mouse doesnt work in Linux. Mouse never worked in 
FreeBSD.
