Does the mouse work when not routed through the KVM box?

I've just installed the latest 5.4-RELEASE on a PC using a kvm switch. I am completely unable to get the mouse to work.
The switch is a no-name one with two ports (in a metal case!!). It's been fine up until now, though I don't know if I've used FBSD on it.
When I (re)start the mouse daemon, with /dev/psm0 as the mouse port I get
# /etc/rc.d/moused restart moused not running? Starting moused:moused: unable to open /dev/psm0: No such file or directory . If I select /dev/sysmouse (which has usually worked in the past - in /etc/rc.conf), it starts with no error messages, but there is no mouse cursor on the console. If I try to start X, there are no errors, and the mouse is present, but does not move.
My mouse is a Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical USB and PS/2 compatible.
If its of any help, here's the output of uname -a:
$ uname -a
FreeBSD freebsd.mydomain.com.au 5.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE #0:

Can anybody help me out of this predicament? I realise that KVM switches can be tricky beasts. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
