Subject:   NetScroll+ Optical ps/2 mouse worked in 4.7 but not in 5.1

My Genius NetScroll+ PS/2 optical mouse was working fine in the console, =
and in KDE, with FreeBSD 4.7, but is working erratically in the newly =
installed FreeBSD 5.1 console, and on the new KDE 3.1 Desktop.
During installation of 5.1, with port as /dev/psm0, protocol as 'auto', =
and while testing the mouse daemon, the pointer was initially difficult =
to see and then, with mouse movement, appeared as if delayed by about 3 =
seconds, but did seem to move to a reasonable position.=20
After successful installation of 5.1, the mouse cursor behavior is the =
same as during the installation's test configuration, and it's behavior =
on the console is similar to its behavior in KDE 3.1.
While moving, the pointer disappears, and then it re-appears when the =
mouse is stationary. It doesn't seem to copy or paste in the console, =
but left-clicking in KDE does seem to work, if I can position the cursor =
over a button, and right-clicking does work over the KDEE desktop.
Thanks for any clues.
