More info--- Mouse on vacation?

[Bob Perry]

The extended message found at the command line mentioned below was:
    psmintr: delay too long; resetting byte count
    psmintr: out of sync (00c0 !=0000).
    discard a byte (1).
    psmintr: delay too long; resetting byte count

BTW, I am running FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE.
Any advice here is appreciated.  Thanks.

Bob Perry
