Re: 2.9 i386 mouse freeze, keyboard working, core dumped to leaf

Hi Siju,

I'm also experiencing trouble in latest master with psm(4). I'm
currently trying to track down this issue. In the mean time, you can
set sysctl debug.psm.loglevel to 9 and let me know the messages that
it spits out when the mouse get stuck.

Cheers,
Antonio Huete
