After reconnecting the mouse and restarting moused, this still didn't restore the mouse, because the psm driver replies with a: unable to open /dev/psm0: Device not configured. How do I force psm driver to rescan and reinitialize the mouse, WITHOUT rebooting that box? Thanks, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
