ps2 mouse driver problem -- kernel psmintr error messages

[Ed Berger]

I tried this suggestion and it didn't fix the problem.  X cursor still 
went to right screen border(top corner) and made it unusable.  Similar
psmintr error messages, etc.

I was however able to get things working by changing some BIOS settings.
It may have been disabling USB legacy support or "enabling" instead of 
"auto-detecting" ps2 mouse, sound, etc.  (I did them all at once and 
rebooted).

Hi Ed,

You may want to add to your psm driver line (in the kerrnel config
file) the flag 0x8, so the psm line by default is:
     device          psm0    at atkbdc? irq 12
And you should use:
    device          psm0    at atkbdc? irq 12 flags 0x8
