load the ums module by typing these  command. you need to be root though.



# kldload ums
# moused -p /dev/ums0 -t auto

then see if the mouse daemon is running using top or ps.

---
if this does not work you may have to rebuild yoru kernel with the
following options

device ohci
device ums
--------------

Thanks. Upon issuing the command:

# kldload ums,

I get:

'kldload: can't load ums: file exists'.

But if I go to /dev, ums is not present. Are you sure kldload is the right
command?

i am positive.
The message basically means that the ums module is already. You can
check this by issuing the command

# kldstat

Yes, I have found it. It is under /usr/src/sys/modules. Shouldn't it be under /dev? The second command you ask me to perform gives an error: 'no such device ums0'. What should I do now?
