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,

High David,
I'm assuming that you've checked to make sure that moused is running after
psm has disappeared ?.
As a somewhat workaround until the cause of this problem can be determined
you could setup a cronjob as root to check for moused and if not found
restart it.
Add moused_port="/dev/ums?" to /etc/rc.conf and replace ? with
corresponding device number.
Add the following to /etc/crontab
pgrep moused ||service moused restart
Of course this does not detect which moused is running and for what device
so some adjustment might be needed there if you have more then one moused
running at a time usually.
Good Luck.
