I've come across a weird error. For the last couple weeks I've come across errors in my dmesg output saying the following psmintr: out of sync (0008 != 0000). psmintr: discard a byte (1). psmintr: out of sync (0008 != 0000). psmintr: discard a byte (2). I have a Microsoft Opitcal mouse plugged into my PS2 port. I looked around on google and all I found was a discussion where someone was plugged into a KVM switch, and this discussion was from back in Jan of 2001. And aside from a discussion on Security and KVM's not much amounted from this. Last night my PS2 port went on my machine none of the 10 PS2 mice I have around the house would work. **grumble** and I switched to USB after looking up various usb mouse tutorials I followed the directions and when I plug in the USB port I get lots of scrolling and highlighting on my screen, my mouse flies up into the upper corner of my screen and I see many of the psmintr messages. When I try to cat /dev/ums0 I get "device not configured" even after running './MAKEDEV ums0' Mouse works fine via PS2 without psmintr messages on other 4 machines around the house (3 BSD 4.7 and 1 win2k) Now my questions. 1) What is cause of the error messages 2) How, if at all can we fix this? I would like to keep my mobo, don't totally feel like going out to buy a new one, especially if I could get my mouse to work via USB. Hardware MSI 6330 Lite motherboard with Via chipset. As I said earlier Mouse is MS opitcal mouse. Any suggestions/thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks for the help, please CC me since I'm not on the list.
