Subject:   Mouse problems booting & rebooting

I have a laptop with a touchpad which is seen by FreeBSD 5.4 as a ps/2 mo=
use.

I configured moused and xorg.conf where the mouse has protocol "Auto" and=

device "/dev/sysmouse".
now,
1) if I turn ON the pc and boot the mouse works flawlessly as expected.
Specifically I mean, among other things, that double-hitting the pad an
application icon the application is selected and launched, hitting the pa=
d
open a menu and select an item of it, etc..
2) if I reboot into FreeBSD without turning off the computer from either
win XP or Freebsd 5.4 itself, the mouse can only move around but it is un=
able
to launch anything by double-hitting the pad or even to open any menu by
hitting the pad.
It all goes as though when rebooting without turning off the pc something=

"alien" is kept in the "memory" of the mousepad, in its wires and this di=
sturbs
the consequent setting.

My question is:
Is there any way under freebsd 5.4 at boot time to completely reset the
mouse, to clear anything "alien" from it?

Ciao
Vittorio
