I've definitely seen this and I don't run moused. I can't reproduce it reliably (without
stopping work to reboot), but it bites an NT machine on the switch as well. It seemed
to be more frequent when I had a third machine attached that had no mouse connector, no
mouse daemon, and no X...
Naturally, when NT gets bitten, I reboot, and when FreeBSD gets bitten, I restart X, both
of which cure the problem until the next time I switch around. I used the same switcher
ages ago with two machines and some combination of FreeBSD 2.2.1/SCO/Win95 to no ill
effect.
My wild-ass guess goes to the driver conflict theory.
Switcher: Belkin Omniview
XF86Config:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "Logitech"
Device "/dev/psm0"
BaudRate 9600
Resolution 100
Buttons 3
EndSection
