Microsoft wireless mouse

T

Trygve

Hi,
I am new to FreeBSD and the forum, and i love it! I installed FreeBSD 10.3 but have a strange problem with microsoft wireless usb mouse.
I have followed the suggestions in rc.conf when i installed the Mate desktop, but the wireless mouse does not work right away after i boot into FreeBSD and Mate desktop.

However, if I plug out the MS wireless usb receiver, and plug in a normal usb wire mouse in the same hole for some seconds, and then plug out the wire mouse and plug in the wireless usb receiver again...

Then the MS wireless mouse works in Mate desktop!

Any ideas why this happens?

Thanks!
 
The mouse should also work on the console (moused(8); it's automatically loaded for USB mice). Try booting the machine and run tail -F /var/log/messages, then plugin the mouse. Any weird error messages showing up?
 
Thank you for the reply SirDice!
When I run tail -F /var/log/messages after booting with the wireless mouse i get (the wireless mouse is at this stage not working):

I am having the same issue. When I start up or if I disconnect and reconnect the receiver I see the following message:
ugen0.2: <Microsft Microsoft Wireless Desktop Receiver 3.1> at usbus0
ukbd0 on uhub0
ukbd0: <Microsft Microsoft Wireless Desktop Receiver 3.1, class 0/0, rev 2.00/0.03, addr 2> on usbus0
kbd2 at ukbd0

A few lines later:
uhid0: <Microsft Microsoft Wireless Desktop Receiver 3.1, class 0/0, rev 2.00/0.03, addr 2> on usbus0


I get the same if I dos,connect and reconnect.
Now, If I just plug into (any other usb port) a logitect mouse I then see this:

uhid0: <Logitech USB Receiver, class 0/0, rev 2.00/24.07, addr 2> on usbus0
ums0 on uhub0
ums0: <Logitech USB Receiver, class 0/0, rev 2.00/24.07, addr 2> on usbus0
ums0: 16 buttons and [XYZT] coordinates ID=2

Now I detach the logitec then detach my MS mouse/keyboard receiver and plug back in, then I get:

ukbd0: <Microsft Microsoft Wireless Desktop Receiver 3.1, class 0/0, rev 2.00/0.03, addr 2> on usbus0
kbd2 at ukbd0
ums0 on uhub0
ums0: <Microsft Microsoft Wireless Desktop Receiver 3.1, class 0/0, rev 2.00/0.03, addr 2> on usbus0
ums0: 5 buttons and [XYZT] coordinates ID=17
ums0: 0 buttons and [ZT] coordinates ID=0

Funny BSD never finds at start up or when I unplug/re plug... Only after I get it to load drivers for a different usb wireless mouse. Why cant BSD find the mouse on the receiver without that "bump" Keyboard always works.
 
Hi,
I have same problem with FreeBSD 13.
I need to unplug the wireless receiver, plug any USB mouse then unplug it and plug back the wireless receiver to have the mouse working.

Oops, my mistake!

Thx grahamperrin , solved with this https://www.freebsd.org/releases/13.0R/relnotes/#drivers-device .

"A new usbhid(4) driver uses drivers from the hid(4) framework for USB HID devices instead of ukbd(4), ums(4), and uhid(4). usbhid(4) is enabled by adding hw.usb.usbhid.enable=1 to /boot/loader.conf and adding usbhid to kld_list="" in /etc/rc.conf."
