I've been having the same problems with my mouse. The device was specified in xf86config, then again in /stand/sysinstall. Problem still occurs. I have logitech ps2 mouse plugged into a serial adapter and then into a serial port. Auto seems to be the primary cause of most of these problems, but i've tried setting the mouse to ps2 and it doesn't work at all, then to serial and it works, but with the cursor issue. Is there a more specific solution...adding code, etc? Charles Pelletier Tech.
