I have always had this problem on this particular laptop, and days upon days
of 
searching (yet again) still have yielded nothing.

I've asked around on here a few times before, but never seem to get any
response.

I have an NEC Ready 120LT Laptop with an "eraser head" PS/2 Mouse.  The 
mouse works great under Windows 95 (which was on it whem I acquired it), and
Red
Hat Linux, which I installed right after I got it.  I've been running
FreeBSD on
it for about a year now, and the mouse ALWAYS acts flaky.  Sometimes It'll
work,
most of the time it will not.  If I reboot about 15 times, the mouse may
work
2 or 3 times, or sometimes not at all.  

Some Background:  

Mouse is PS/2
When mouse fails, psm0 does not show up in dmesg
Built-In mouse is fully enabled in BIOS
No other devices/daemons are using it's IRQ, including pccardd

Any ideas?  It's freaking me out and I hate rebooting 10 times just so I can
get
into X and do something on the road.  :(

TnxInAdv...
