Hi,
I've looked for an answer to this, but I haven't found one yet .... so=

asking here. I have NetBSD-1.6 on a i386 laptop and every now and then =
I=20
want to use a USB mouse with the laptop. I have been able to get X11 to=20
recognize both the builtin mouse and the USB mouse. The big problem is w=
hen=20
I need to sleep (zzz) the laptop or reconnect the USB mouse. When X sta=
rts=20
with the USB mouse connected, it works great. But, once it is disconnect=
ed=20
either by a direct removal or a sleep, I have to restart X to get the USB=

mouse to work again.
Is there something that requests X to reopen all mouse devices so I do=
n't=20
hve to exit X and restart it to get the USB mouse working?
Thanks!
