My mouse has been losing sync several times a day and then eventually
disappearing, requiring, AFAIK, a reboot to make the system usable.
It's possible that this is hardware on my end, but I did change mice
and I still have the same problem.  This may be related to some recent
mfc ATA changes at this only seems to happen during periods of high
disk activity.  Also, the mouse seems to generate almost 300
interrupts per second at times.

I am going to back my system down to sept. 1 and see if I get the
problem again, and will advise if this seems to 'fix' it.

When the mouse goes it looks like this:

Oct 22 08:53:58 netcom1 /kernel: psmintr: reset the mouse.
Oct 22 08:53:58 netcom1 /kernel: psm0: failed to reset the aux device.
Oct 22 08:53:58 netcom1 /kernel: psm0: the aux device has gone! (reinitialize).

Thanks for working on FreeBSD...
