Hmmmm.  That's no good.  I also have to profess that the hacks didn't
*completely* solve the problem for me either - it worked great for 24
hours and then, as such Murphyesque bugs like to do, started
misbehaving again (though to far less significant effect) the next
day.  Now when my mouse dies, it dies more or less completely and I
need to switch from X to a VTY and then return.  That operation seems
to clear things up, though I know not why.

I suspect the problem is something far more mysterious in the
interaction between another driver (like syscons?) and the psm driver,
or perhaps it has nothing to do with either and it's a seemingly
unrelated change in an entirely different section of the kernel.  I
don't envy Kazu for what it's probably going to take to fix this at
all. ;-)
