USB Mouse

I have a laptop with a touch pad and I would like to use my
wireless USB mouse 
either at the same time as the touch pad or instead of the
touch pad. I'm 
sure that this topic has been covered before but I have not
been able to find 
clear information in the documentation about this. If anyone
could point me 
to the appropriate documentation or mailing list archive,  I
would be happy 
to do a little reading.
Thanks in advance from a BSD newbie

Just plug it in and they should both work as long as you are
running
moused.

And remember to configure X to use sysmouse and protocol
"auto".

As I get further into the documentation, I should be seeing
a /dev/usm0 or 
other numbered device in my /dev folder. When my system
boots up, it sees the 
mouse as /dev/uhid0 but moused will not recognize the mouse
when I type
moused -p /dev/uhid0 -t auto
Do I need to create a usm0 device and link it somehow or is
this just a case 
of faulty hardware detection?
The touch pad mouse works just fine.
Thanks

Ah, you have one of the uhid mice.  Those don't just work
quite yet.  I
believe there are patches to either moused or uhid to
support them.
