Mouse + KVM Issues [with fix]

[Rick Olson]

I'm really not sure which list to post this to, and this is my first 
post on any of the official FreeBSD mailing lists, so pardon my 
ignorance.  This was a tossup between arch & hackers.

A long time ago, way back in May of 2005, there was a bug/change-request 
posted by a Tim H. regarding increasing compatibility of the psm driver 
with KVM switches.  That post is located at: 
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2005-May/012848.html

Recently, I was blessed (and cursed) with a new KVM to switch between 
Windows, my glorified music player, and FreeBSD.  That's when the very 
issue Tim brought up started happening, and caused me countless hours of 
frustration and researching (without a scrollwheel, mind you).


Finally, after finding that post and doing as instructed, (psm.c was 
located at /usr/src/sys/dev/atkbdc/psm.c for me), I was able to get 
things back to bearable.

Is there any way that simple change could be implemented into the base, 
or are there other issues that would arise by implementing that fix?  I 
can verify that it works, and I've noticed there are quite a few people 
that experienced the same issue.

Thanks,

Rick
