I am having a problem with ps/2 mouse when I start X. It seems that
when I initially call "startx" the /dev/psm0 is not recognized
even though at boot time it indicates the device is found. If I kill 
X and run "startx" again the mouse device is recognized no problem.

I figure I have something setup/configured wrong can anyone steer me
in the correct direction?

thanks

dan
