Hello all,

I have the following problem: I installed OpenBSD 3.8 a long time ago and 
I have used it since november as a production system. Everything worked OK.
I like very much OpenBSD because I managed to configure a lot of things quickly 
(faster than on FreeBSD for example, but this is another story). I 
configured very well the mouse too (since installation). It worked OK in 
 console and in X11R6. Unfortunately, one day when I came to work the 
mouse pointer started to behave in a chaotic manner on the screen when I 
moved the mouse. Both in console and in X. Very nasty. I know it is a stupid 
problem and a stupid question, but that's it. I changed the mouse, the same 
thing. I tried this mouse on another computer and it worked fine. So now I have 
two options: I have a SW problem and a HW problem (the HW is new, bought in 
november...). My question would be: having given the fact that I modified 
nothing in the system configuration and that no one else used this computer 
for other purposes while I was missing, it is possible to have a HW problem 
or a misconfigured SW? Have you encountered this before? 
Any suggestions?

                                                  Yours in BSDness,
                                                      Gabriel George POPA
