 >Work around:
 > dmesg reports this for my mouse by default:
 > 
 > psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> flags 0x24 irq 12 on atkbdc0
 > psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
 > psm0: model IntelliMouse Explorer, device ID 4
 > 
 > the mouse will not work.
 > 
 > appending: hint.psm.0.flags="0x204"
 > to /boot/device.hints
 > 
 > I now get this via dmesg:
 > 
 > psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> flags 0x204 irq 12 on atkbdc0
 > psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
 > psm0: model Generic PS/2 mouse, device ID 0
 > 
 > I then edited /etc/rc.conf and disabled my console mouse (moused)
 > (which I would prefere worked)
 > 
 > moused_enable="NO"
 > 
 > I then edit the pointer section of  /etc/X11/xorg.conf to:
 > 
 >     Identifier  "Mouse1"
 >     Driver      "mouse"
 >     Option "Protocol"    "Auto"
 >     Option "Device"      "/dev/bpsm0"
 > 
 > notice that is the "b" psm device that i am using which is for
 > blocking mode or bpsm
 > 
 > At any rate, the mouse now works in X, through the kvm, and
 > through usb
 > to ps/2 adapter.

 >YMMV  
 >I posted this workaround to freebsd-questions at freebsd.org, and recieved a suggestion to use the send-pr to help get it fixed in future versions. This is my first use of send-pr, so if it is done wrong, i apologise in advance.
