I ran the perl upgrade and portupgrade, and now my mouse doesn't work in Xorg running KDE. Works fine in the console, and I haven't changed anything in the xorg.conf file. I generated a new one, and the mouse section is identical to what I already have.
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection
For some reason I now have a PS2 mouse being detected (there's no PS2 port
on this box and there's no PS2 mouse plugged in to it), and I think that's
the cause of the mouse failure in X.
# ls -l /dev/psm0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 64 Apr 14 09:33 /dev/psm0
But how do I track down what's causing this device to be loaded?
I also have the usb mouse:
# ls -l /dev/ums0
crw-r--r-- 1 root operator 0, 42 Apr 14 09:29 /dev/ums0

Dmesg shows the device being loaded:

But also shows the usb mouse being loaded:

uhub3
ums0: 3 buttons and Z dir.
I have no idea where this PS2 mouse suddenly appeared from, but I think it's
clearly the cause of the problem.
Also, Ctrl-Alt-Bksp no longer restarts X, which is kind of weird. I can
still switch to other ttys though.
