Yes. Just today, I was installing a Digital PC with 4.0-release. Before
start using it, I upgraded to 4.0 Stable. Then I starded configuring X.

FYI:

FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE #0: Wed May 24 13:34:42 GMT 2000
CPU: Pentium II/Pentium II Xeon/Celeron (265.75-MHz 686-class CPU)
psm0:  irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: model Generic PS/2 mouse, device ID 0

I have a HP-mouse (2 button) which is actually a logitec.

I tried with both moused and X. Both giving errors:

psmintr: out of sync (0080 != ).
psmintr: out of sync (00c0 != ).
psmintr: out of sync (0040 != ).

I tried several mousesystems, like 'ps/2', 'sysmouse', 'logitec'. They all
go crappy. In XF86Setup, it reacts slow on movements, and when it moves, it 
is in 'burstmode' ;-): It will jump to the opposite part of the screen. 
2-buttons emulation SEEMS to work. Since the rest didn't, I could not really
test. On console, with moused, the mouse moves in the same (unpredictable)
way, and now I see that 2-buttons emulation does not work.

I tried the

options PSM_HOOKRESUME
options PSM_RESETAFTERSUSPEND

in the kernel, to no avail. After that, I tried the patch on 'apic_vector.s'
provided by Bruce, also to no avail.
In the end I downgraded to 4.0-release again. I will test that tomorrow.

On my other machine, which is a Dell optiplex gx1, with 
FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #9: Tue May  2 13:17:27 CEST 2000
psm0:  irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: model Generic PS/2 mouse, device ID 0
and a 3-button Digital mouse, I don't have the problem. But I really need
to upgrade to the next current ;-)) I am curious if I have the same problems
then on that machine.

It doesn't really matter if I do it from the command line, using moused or
if I set it in rc.conf, right?  And I assume the 'apply' button in the
'mouse'-section of XF86Setup does, end the end, behave like I started X with
the settings as above.
And yes, with settings as above it is giving problems.

Meantime, I am still trying to get it back to 4.0_release, I did that last
night, but after that the mouse was not working AT ALL. Most probably I did
something stupid ;-) I reinstall from CD now. I don't have time to track
down the mistake I made with the downgrade.
