TiG4 lapbrick with mousepad and external USB mouse.  Both Muxed.


>Description:
The action of opening, using and closing a /dev/wsmouse[0-9] device directly, appears to break that devices operation when _later_ accessed as part of /dev/wsmouse.

>How-To-Repeat:
Modify XF86Config to use a specific mouse device such as /dev/wsmouse1 (for me wsmouse1 is the USB mouse, most of the below also applies to wsmouse0).  

Start X.  Mouse works.

Stop X.

Modify XF86Config to use /dev/wsmouse.

Start X.  Mouse doesn't work.

Disconnect mouse.  Reconnect mouse.  Mouse works.

(The last step isn't recommended if you've only got access to a built in mousepad ...).
