Hello all,
After a particularly bad move to my new apartment, resulting in a dead hard
disk and a reinstall, I decided to try Xfree 4.0.3 - since I've been wanting
to try a dual monitor setup (and at this point, have nothing to lose).

All is fine and well graphically, but the mouse is exhibiting the signs of a
conflict with moused (the cursor slides across the top of the screen). In
XFree86 3.x, this was easily solved - but the same solution no longer works.

I currently am running FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE, with a Microsoft Intellimouse
attached to the PS/2 port. Moused is running with the flags "-p /dev/psm0 -t
auto -z 4", and my XF86Config file (excerpting the mouse section) is:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "MouseSystems"
        Option      "Buttons" "5"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4,5"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/mouse"
EndSection

For completeness, the video board is an ATI Xpert@play with 8Mb of SGRAM.
It's configuration is:

Section "Device"
        ### Available Driver options are:-
        Option     "accel"
        Option     "crt_screen"
        Option     "composite_sync"
        Option     "linear"
        Option     "mmio_cache"
        #Option     "probe_clocks"
        #Option     "reference_clock"
        #Option     "shadow_fb"
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "ati"
        VendorName  "ATI"
        BoardName   "Mach64 GP"
        ChipSet     "ati"
        ChipId      0x4750
        ChipRev     0x5c
        BusID       "PCI:0:15:0"
EndSection

I have tried every protocol (in XF86Config) that seemed to match, including
"MouseSystems" "Auto" "Microsoft" "Intellimouse". I also tried attaching it
directly to /dev/psm0 - but as long as moused is running, the mouse doesn't
work correctly in X.

Oddly enough, the mouse works fine for moused, but when I kill moused - the
mouse refuses to work in X at all - not even the screwy movement across the
top of the screen. I figure that may be due to locking though.

I have looked in the mailing list, and found that this is not the first time
someone has run across this problem. I was hoping someone had found a
solution since March.

Thanks,
Seth Henry
