Yes, very close. We should have basic USB support in the
first patch.

:> How do i enable a USB mouse under QNX RTP?hmm, thats weird , as my mouse (usb) works with a fresh install? but if i
turn of the Computer and restart it, then mouse dont work?
Sorta seen this here in QNX. One of the dev guys had a usb mouse attached to
his box (that he brought from home) and he used it for the better part of
the day until he happend to realize that it was the usb mouse. I remember
him laughing and saying that he has the usb stack all done when it turned
out that his bios actually emmulated a ps2 mouse using the usb one attached.
QNX RTP saw the mouse as a ps2 and worked just fine. This may be what is
happening with your system. However it doesn’t explain why it doesn’t work
after a reboot.

Yeah… that USB mimicking a PS/2 mouse via the BIOS was a brilliant
piece of engineering.
With great trouble, I can tell that the BIOS is emulating something
that’s USB via stuffing things into the PS/2 controller so they look
like they came from a PS/2 device, but i can’t tell if it’s emulating
the mouse, the keyboard, or both.
What’s more, I can connect a USB mouse and a PS/2 mouse and a PS/2
keyboard, and a USB keyboard at the same time, and they all work…
sort of.
But if I send commands to the mouse to say put it in wheel mode, they
work fine if it’s a PS/2 mouse, but the emulation makes the USB mouse
freeze up, and if there are two mice connected, they both get hosed…
Ahhh… the wonders of modern hardware.
