I've tested three different mouses with the same behavior:
- MS IntelliEye (with USB->PS/2 adapter)
- IBM PS/2 Mouse
- MS Mouse (with COM->PS/2 adapter)

No mouse works under current kernel... hmmm
But everything works fine with kernel+world of < Aug 6 (with ACPI
enabled, without I've not tested). Disabling ACPI
under current kernel/source seems to provide a little bit more stable
behavior under console - but not under X.

I'll tomorrow determine the date on which the described psmintr-behavior
begun. I've a local CVS repository, because of my cable modem.
Then I'll try to determine the differences.... and tell you.

If it would be a BIOS or hardware problem, I couldn't understand, why it
works under FreeBSD-4.6 and FreeBSD-current < Aug 6, Linux and
w2k correctly.

No. Only USB->PS2 adaptor (with a MSIntelliEye).
I'd have no problem if I'd use the mouse with usb, but maybe someone
else who hasn't such an usb mouse would be very sad, if it won't work...
