Would you possibly send me `dmesg' output after you boot the system
with `-v' boot option so that I can know the state of the psm0 driver?

Do you run `moused'?  Or, do you let the X server access the psm0
device directly?

Do you think you can reproduce your problem by running moused on psm0,
and login from the remote X-terminal and do some heavy work?  I prefer
you twiddle the PS/2 mouse at the same time if possible.
