When power to the mouse is, either accidentally or intentionally, cut, the internal setting of the mouse is naturally lost, and the mouse may behave in a different way than the way the psm driver assumes... >Hmmm, time for a good ioctl interface to newbus :-) Or, an ioctl to reset the mouse... I have long rejected this idea because it will only encourage people to detach and attach the PS/2 mouse, which is generally not capable of hot plug/unplug. But, there now are so many dumb KVMs which screw us, and we may have to accept that...
