 Hi,
 
 I accidently found this posting, when trying to find a solution
 for an identical/similar problem with ECS K7S5a.
 I'm using gentoo linux with devfs.
 When I first power up my box my mouse works (in windows and linux).
 If I reboot from linux, my mouse doesn't work in neither linux or windows.
 If I power it down completely, then my mouse works again.
 I used to have slack-8.1 and then this didn't happen (it doesn't happen with 
 windows either).
 I can't tell you much more than that. My guess is it has something to do with
 either acpi or devfs (on my slack install I had neither of them enabled).
 It must somehow be a combination of a hardware related issue and kernel 
 support for a certain feature (devfs/acpi). 
 I'm sorry I know I'm very vague. And I know this is a freebsd list,
 but maybe this helps...
 
 Cya,
 Diederik
