Same mouse... same problem (with FreeBSD 4.1.1)

I do not remember well what I did (I do not use this mouse anymore), but doing the following solved the problem (until the next reboot) :

1-kill moused
2-unplug the mouse
3-plug the mouse again
4-restart moused

A better solution would be welcome...

PS: There was a very little thread on this subject on fr.comp.os.bsd, 3 weeks ago.
