Hello again! ;-)

I have further info on this. I think I might need some help from a developer 
or two so if anyone sees this who might be interested in helping, let me 
know... 

I have tried the followinf to get this thing to work:

Same mouse on different machine with FreeBSD (works fine!) (IBM PC 350GL)
Same mouse on different machine with Windows98 (works fine!) (clone system w/ 
	Abit KA7 motherboard).
Same mouse on original machine machine as a USB mouse (works fine!) (clone 
	system w/ Asus P2B motherboard)
Same mouse on original system with Windows 98 (works fine!)
Same mouse on original system with fresh install of FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE 
	(doesn't work! same problem of erratic behavior)
Different USB mouse plugged into USB to PS/2 adapter on original system 
	(works fine!) (Logitech Wingman Gaming Mouse)

I think I have tried everything I know how at this point. I have eliminated 
all possible hardware problems (I think) and eliminated any wierd -STABLE or 
compilation problems that might be on my system. I could start enabling 
debugging code for the psm driver, but I'm not sure I would know what to do 
with the debug messages...

Can anyone out there lend a hand?

Ian
