moused

Moused with EVDEV support (WIP)

System requirements

• FreeBSD 12.1+
• iichid/usbhid installed from ports or from base system (13+)
• usbhid activated through /boot/loader.conf with following lines:

hw.usb.usbhid.enable=1
usbhid_load="YES"

Downloading

This project does not have a special home page. The source code and the issue tracker are hosted on the Github:

https://github.com/wulf7/moused

Building

To build driver, cd in to extracted archive directory and type

$ make

Installing

To install file already built just type:

$ sudo make install

and you will get the compiled moused installed in /usr/local/sbin. You may need to restart devd to apply bundled devd rules.

To run moused at a boot time, disable system moused in /etc/rc.conf with

# sysrc moused_enable="NO"
# sysrc moused_nondefault_enable="NO"

And enable this moused with

# sysrc evdev_moused_enable="YES"

To prevent double movement on bluetooth devices, following patch should be applied to bthidd:
