ACPI kills USB mouse

2004-12-02 Thread Robert William Vesterman
Hi,
I've been having a hard time getting my USB mouse to work.  Tonight, I 
accidentally booted without ACPI support, and the USB mouse magically 
worked.  I tried booting with and without ACPI support several times 
thereafter, and each time, the USB mouse worked if and only if I hadn't 
booted with ACPI support.

Is this a known problem? Is there a workaround? Is there any sort of 
information I can gather that might help to narrow down the problem?

This is with 5.3-RELEASE, by the way.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Bob Vesterman.

It is known (at least by myself) that the FreeBSD ACPI support can break
all sorts of things if it doesn't happen to agree with your hardware. I
think the known workaround is booting with support disabled.
