Would you please provide the following information. 1. The model of your Logitech PS/2 mouse. 2. When booting the system, give "boot -v" at the loader prompt to obtain verbose messages, and send us /var/log/dmesg.boot. 3. Run `moused' as follows and show us the output. moused -i all -d -p /dev/psm0 4. Tell me if you are using some sort of console switch. (We have had a lot of troubles with consoles switches.) 5. How did you start `moused'? What options did you gave? >It appears to be an old problem resurfacing.

When the X server is directly accessing /dev/psm0, syscons has nothing to do with mouse data stream. Syscons/sysmouse see mouse data only when you run moused.
