aparrently you didn't search the archives as this has been asked and
answered more than a couple of times. from man psm...
bit 8 NOCHECKSYNC
The psm driver tries to detect the first byte of the data packet
by checking the bit pattern of that byte. Although this method
should work with most PS/2 pointing devices, it may interfere with
some devices which are not so compatible with known devices. If
you think your pointing device is not functioning as expected, and
the kernel frequently prints the following message to the console,
psmintr: out of sync (xxxx != yyyy).
set this flag to disable synchronization check and see if it
helps.
I don't know what you're trying to do with those other psm options,
but to fix the problem make your psm line look like this...
device psm0 at atkbdc? irq 12 flags 0x100
...then compile/install a new kernel and all should be well.
