I have similar problems. Every time I build stable I have to remake 
/dev/psm0 and reboot to get my mouse to not "wig out". This is with 
moused and the mouse protocol set to "Auto". It doesn't appear to be 
just XF86 4 though, I get the same behavior on the console. After I 
remake the device all seems well. I've seen this on two machines, 
both with logitech mice.
