>Description:
I have a multi-boot PC with Windows XP, Free BSD 6.1, Solaris 10 and Linux Fedora Core 5. This PC shares keyboard, mouse & video with other PCs via the StarView SV411 KVM switch. The issue I have occurs only when I run Free BSD. 

It seems Free BSD initially wont configure the mouse correctly when installing the software when the mouse is connected via the SV411 switch. It will install the mouse correctly when the mouse is directly connected to the PC, without the SV411 in the circuit.

Later, when the Free BSD Gnome GUI software is installed, it does not mind if the keyboard and video are switched by the SV411. The mouse will work via the SV411 only if the system booted with the mouse active via the SV411. As soon as you switch KVM to another PC and then return the the Free BSD PC, the mouse quits working totally on the Free BSD PC.

Right now I am using a dedicated mouse for the PC that runs Free BSD.

State-Changed-Why:  
John reports that he will not be able to try a workaround for sometime, 
but when he can test it, if that fails this PR can be repoened. 

The workaround is trying to set the "no reset" flag for the psm driver 
via: 

hint.psm.0.flags="0x400" in /boot/loader.conf.local 

That was what worked for me when I had problems with my KVM switch 
and a mouse switching between a Windows box and FreeBSD.`
