I suppose so, I am able to set the moused to use /dev/uhid if I define the 
protocol anything else than auto but when I use the mouse it does weird 
movements :) so I guess ums is normally converting the information from 
mouse to something moused etc. can understand?

Do you want me to seperately try cat /dev/uhid0 thing? I am not nearby the 
machine now but I could if it is necessary.
