 Would you please send me the output from `dmesg' soon after the system
 is started, and tell me the model name and number written on the label
 of the mouse?  Did the mouse come with this Gateway system? Or did you
 buy it separately?
 
 Do you use any keyboard/monitor/mouse switch, such as Cybex KVM
 switch?  These switch products are know to cause troubles for mice.
 
 Also, please carry out the following test so that I can get some
 information about your mouse.
 
 1. Switch to vty1 or vty2 (Press Alt-F2 or Alt-F3). Login as root. 
 2. Kill moused if it is running.
 3. Run moused as follows:
 	moused -i all -d -p /dev/psm0
    It will show some information about the mouse.
 4. Run moused in the foreground mode as follows:
 	vidcontrol -m on
 	moused -f -p /dev/psm0
    Move mouse and see if the mouse cursor moves correctly.
    Hit ^C to kill moused.
 5. Run moused in the debug mode as follows:
 	moused -d -f -p /dev/psm0 -l 2
    When you move the mouse or click buttons, you will see moused
    will dump data bytes it receives from the mouse.
    Please capture its output using `script' command and send it
    to me.
    Hit ^C to kill moused.

 'flags 0x100' is not for moused; it's for the psm driver.  This flag
 is still valid and accepted by the psm driver. See the man page for
 psm(4).
 
 (But, I don't know if this flag will entirely solve the problem in
 your particular case.)
