I normally run X11 (via xdm) on my laptop.

Today, running FreeBSD 7.3-PRERELEASE as of r203700, the mouse stopped
moving.

Logging in from a pty & checking the last bit of /var/log/messages
showed:

Feb  9 14:30:27 localhost kernel: kbdc: TEST_AUX_PORT status:0000
Feb  9 14:30:27 localhost kernel: kbdc: RESET_AUX return code:00fa
Feb  9 14:30:27 localhost kernel: kbdc: RESET_AUX status:ffffffff

Feb  9 14:30:27 localhost kernel: psm0: failed to reset the aux device.
Feb  9 14:30:27 localhost kernel: psm0: the aux device has gone! (reinitialize).


uname output:

FreeBSD localhost 7.3-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 7.3-PRERELEASE #56 r203700: Tue Feb  9

r...@g1-136.catwhisker.org:/common/S2/obj/usr/src/sys/CANARY  i386

So far, the least disruptive form of evasive action I've found is a
reboot, which is quite a bit more disruptive than I'd prefer.

Help?

Thanks!

Peace,
david
