[answer emailed to person who posted]

This one got me last week when I was setting up a proxy server at
work.  The workaround was easy enough (dike out the probe code in the
psm driver), but I wonder:

1.  Has this been fixed for the next release of FreeBSD?

2.  If not, how about somebody who has PS/2 mouse specs emailing me so
we can work out a better probe routine?
