Unfortunately, the suggested remedy only compounded the problem. Setting the psm0 flags to 0x100 killed X when the mouse lost sync. Running moused and using sysmouse caused extremely eratic behavior. Without moused and using /dev/psm0 for X simply froze the mouse -- although switching to another console and back seemed to work. It appears to be an old problem resurfacing. Were it not for the fact that I've had no problems before I built world from sources supped Saturday morning -- and there have been syscons changes since my previous sup, I would write it off to a dying mouse and go on. Given the changes and a new release coming up, I though it would be worth raising the flag. -- Jay To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
