I think I've seen something else.

I'm using USB wireless mouse and keyboard interacting with one RF USB
receiver connected to the one USB port.
My keyboard works super fine. But mouse doesn't in FreeBSD. Under
Linux mouse works.
When I connect any other mouse it works.

I'm sure because of HID support: mouse and keyboard in this wireless
set are parts of one HID device.
Maybe some good guys knows how configure FreeBSD for better HID support (maybe
someone provide patch on /usr/src/dev/usb/*hid*.c)

Thanks in any case for your answer!!!
