As long as we're talking about keyboards, re-vamping the console driver, etc.,
can something be done with psm? FreeBSD is the only OS that requires me to
pass flags to psm to get my mouse to behave properly on my KVM switch, and the
flag I use (0x200) forces "true" PS/2 mode, disabling the wheel and such.

Granted, the only other OSes I've had on KVM switches with FreeBSD machines
are Windows, Linux and OS/X, but it still seems like something's amiss with
psm.

Thanks,
Josh
