I am a BSD-newbie, and am trying to set up the above notebook. Have 
finally managed to get the wlan working with wep and all and am now 
trying to get X11 on its feet.

The configuration is now ok except for the fact that my wireless mouse 
isn't working, and neither is the touch-pad. The facts:

-The wireless devices(keyboard and mouse) are connected through a 
receiver: Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Receiver 1.0A which is 
connected to the notebook by USB(the keyboard is functional, but the 
mouse isn't)
- the output of "uname -a" is: "FreeBSD notebook.andnorm.no 6.0-RELEASE 
FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #0: Thu Nov  3 09:36:13 UTC 2005     
root at x64.samsco.home:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386"
- the output of "ps -ax | grep moused" is: " 282  ??  Is     0:00.00 
/usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/ums0 -t auto -I /var/run/mou" - why it gets 
truncated I don't know.
- the output of "usbdevs -v" for the relevant controller is: "Controller 
/dev/usb0:
addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x0000), 
VIA(0x0000), rev 1.00
 port 1 powered
 port 2 addr 2: low speed, power 100 mA, config 1, Microsoft Wireless 
Optical Desktop® 1.00(0x005f), Microsoft(0x045e), rev 18.17"

Have found a patch at: 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=usb/85814, but am not sure 
whether this patch will solve my mouse problems without giving problems 
with the keyboard. I would appreciate if someone could advice me on this.
