I've noticed messages like this in syslog, and finally decided to go looking for the cause: Apr 1 17:15:03 whizzo /kernel: Device psm0: name slot allocation failed (E=17) Apr 1 17:15:03 whizzo /kernel: Device npsm0: name slot allocation failed (E=17) It seems that the code which calls devfs to instantiate the device actually happens in the open routing of the driver, rather than the attach. So, if you start up another X session, the next time the device is opened you'll get the messages above. Hopefully there's nothing that's not obvious behind this; the mse.c driver has the devfs invocation where you'd expect, in the attach routine. Further, with the current state of affairs, you'd never be able to open the mouse using a devfs /dev since it's not there yet.. louie
