First off, thanks both of you guys for the replies.

What's the output of usbdevs when the mouse doesn't work? And what do you have in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf for the mouse device?

I booted the machine with and without usbd_enable into /etc/rc.conf but either way the mouse didn't work (most of the times).

In /etc/X11/xorg.conf I have
Quote:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection

...but shouldn't it work before X is launched?

Also, check the boot messages (use the dmesg command) for any errors and postings about the usb systems. You should see the mouse recognised during startup.

No, there is no mouse recognition while booting.
However, when I unplug the mouse and put it back again it shows:

Also, I noticed 2 strange lines at the beginning of dmesg

module_register: module uhub/ums already exists!

One thing I forgot to mention is that sometimes even the keyboard doesn't work.
Thanks
