Hallo,
I had a Logitech bluetooth mouse connected via USB BT dongle. In the past I
used to load ng_ubt and bthidd and hcsecd to make the mouse work. The same
I did for a friend on old PC-BSD. But it appears that since moving to the
version 8.x we no longer need to load any of the above and the mouse works
out-of-box. Unfortunately it does not respond to wheel movement (pressing
it does generate middle click).
are we talking about freebsd or pc-bsd here? i'm confused :)
there were no changes in this area in freebsd. you still need to load
ng_ubt(4) to recognize local bluetooth device (i.e. bluetooth dongle
connected to your computer). usually its done via loader.conf, i.e.
put something like
ng_ubt_load="YES"
into /boot/loader.conf.
devd(8) will start/stop bluetooth stack as soon as it detects
ng_ubt(4) device arrival/departure.
bthidd(8), hcsecd(8) etc. are bluetooth service daemons, and, those
needs to be started. usually one puts something like
hcsecd_enable="YES"
bthidd_enable="YES"
into /etc/rc.conf to start bluetooth services.
assuming all of the above is in place, and, mouse was paired
previously, then it will work "out-of-the-box"
Now this all is a bit surprising for me. And I'm not sure which part of the
system is responsible for the behaviour -- kernel, USB stack, HAL, X11, .. ?
ng_ubt(4) driver for usb bluetooth devices
devd(8) responds to events and starts/stops bluetooth stack
Also, I'd like to know how to make wheel working again.
can you please provide hid descriptor?
thanks

Hi Max,
Thank you for your reply.
Probably I wasn't clear. I am aware of how to enable BT mouse in
FreeBSD, I used it for several years. I did the same for PC-BSD and it
worked as expected.
But now, with the same mouse on a friend's computer running (latest)
PC-BSD, I do no need to do anything and it works. There is no ng_ubt
loaded, yet I see /dev/ums0 and mouse works both in console and X11.
The issue is that its wheel does not work.
So I was confused as to how it can work out-of-box and why wheel is
dead. One idea that occured to me is that BIOS recognises and emulates
it (dongle + mouse), though that sounds strange.
Btw, when I tried to set it up as usual (and as you wrote above), it
stopped working (on that PC-BSD machine).
Hm..
M.
