(www.defcon1.org is the source)  What I am trying to do is set up a USB Wheel Mouse (actually it is a wireless mouse/keyboard ) with FreeBSD 5.2.   FreeBSD recognizes the keyboard just fine (the wireless hub for the keyboard & mouse attaches to a usb port).  Is there anything that I need to do differently. 

Does your mouse show in the system's boot messages? You can view these 
messages with the dmesg command. Lines concerning a USB mouse should 
show as lines beginning with umse. Also, what does the usbdevs command show?

The FreeBSD Handbook is your bible for learning the system :)

Good Luck
