Hello,
a bit late, but ....
I've used your patch, but it does not apply completely clean (some <tab> converted to <space> ?)
I've patched manually the sources like you said, rebuilt XFree 4.01, reinstalled, and it seems to work
**quite fine** (at least switching to the text console and back works as expected)
Thanks a lot
TfH

I had this problem on my 4.1-RC machine running XFree86 4.0.1 and
moused(8) with a PS/2 mouse as well. So I spent some hours digging
through the XFree86 source code and finally came up with a quick'n'
dirty patch that cures the problem at least on my system.
I haven't contacted the XFree86 people about it yet as I want to hear
some more "works for me here too!" before I'll file a PR. Although it's
rather late it might be a candidate for inclusion in the ports
collection before the 4.1-RELEASE.
