When I have an intellimouse with the wheel connected to my Belkin KVM I get different behavior out of FreeBSD depending on whether the KVM was switched to the fbsd box at boot time or not. The problem manifested as tons of errors about "out of sync" as the mouse moved after switching to/from the fbsd box. I worked around it by adding "flags 0x0200" to the kernel config for the psm0 device. As I recall, that flag tells the driver to treat the mouse as generic (no wheel), which suits me fine (since the wheel annoys me and I physically ripped it out of the mouse). -- Ian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
