kernel: psmintr: out of sync

[Alex Wilkinson]

Hi all,

I am switching between several OS's with a Cybex KVW switch.

I now seem to have a problem with my mouse (after build world/kernel).

FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT #2: Wed Aug 20 13:28:54 CST 2003

I am getting these messages on the console when I move my mouse, the cursor moves in a very
choppy motion (painfully slow).

moused is running with the following:

"moused -p /dev/psm0 -t auto"

The mouse is a Microsoft IntelliMouse connected to the KVM via a USB->PS/2 adapter.

If I boot the same machine into -STABLE this does *not* happen.

I have tryed running moused with different protocols without any luck.

Can anyone help me solve this problem ?

I have to run -STABLE if I can't solve this problem, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

p.s the mouse works fine with: RH Linux, Irix 6.5.20, Tru64, and WinXP.
