I didn't notice this problem until upgrading from Xfree86-4.02 to XFree86-4.03. When I did this, I found the mouse pointer pinned to the top-most scan line on the monitor--able to move horizontally but not vertically. The mouse is a Logitech MouseMan+ WheelMouse initially connected to PS/2. I had "moused" setup up for "Auto" and "PS/2" and XF86Config setup for Sysmouse and /dev/sysmouse. This combination had worked for XFree86-3.3.6 and XFree86-4.02. However it failed for XFree86-4.03. Investigating what "moused" reported, I discovered that it thought my mouse was "generic": /dev/sysmouse sysmouse sysmouse generic I believe this maybe the problem. Fix: Connect Logitech MouseMan+ WheelMouse to a serial port and setup "moused" to "Auto" and /dev/cuaa1 (or whatever). "moused" now reports: /dev/cuaa1 serial intellimouse MouseMan+ Edit XF86Config mouse entries to "intellimouse" and /dev/cuaa1. This restores full function. How-To-Repeat: Use above configuration.
