[-- Attachment #1 --] hey all, yes, i'm getting the "psmintr out of sync" error when i try to use my mouse. stopping/starting/adjusting the mouse daemon doesn't help. i'm running FreeBSD 4.2. the mouse is a Microsoft USB Intellimouse Explorer (5 button) with a USB->PS/2 adapter. i'm using the mouse through a switch (Belkin OmniView Pro), so i'm using the PS/2 adapter. i've got a similar setup at home, similar mouse/switch/cables, etc... with no problems. but my machine at home is running FreeBSD 4.4. i'm guessing that the problem was fixed in/before 4.4. from searching archives, i have seen that a possible fix for this is to use a serial adapter on the mouse and connect it to a serial port. since i need to use my switch, that really isn't an option. does anyone have any other solutions/suggestions as to a workaround for this problem? i'm a newbie, so you may have to be somewhat detailed in your response. thanks, clay [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2600.0" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>hey all,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>yes, i'm getting the "psmintr out of sync" error when i try to use my mouse. stopping/starting/adjusting the mouse daemon doesn't help.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>i'm running FreeBSD 4.2.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>the mouse is a Microsoft USB Intellimouse Explorer (5 button) with a USB->PS/2 adapter. i'm using the mouse through a switch (Belkin OmniView Pro), so i'm using the PS/2 adapter. i've got a similar setup at home, similar mouse/switch/cables, etc... with no problems. but my machine at home is running FreeBSD 4.4. i'm guessing that the problem was fixed in/before 4.4.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>from searching archives, i have seen that a possible fix for this is to use a serial adapter on the mouse and connect it to a serial port. since i need to use my switch, that really isn't an option.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>does anyone have any other solutions/suggestions as to a workaround for this problem? i'm a newbie, so you may have to be somewhat detailed in your response.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>thanks,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>clay</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2> </FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>help
