Not sure if this is related, but I have USB keyboard/mouse on a USB kvm
switch, and whenever I switch back to NetBSD, the mouse is dead in X
until I switch virtual consoles away from the X server and back.  I've
thought many times about troubleshooting this, but never actually done
anything about it... it's been happening since early 1.6 days, at least,
maybe before.  I also have a microsoft optical mouse, but I'm pretty
sure it's happened with others as well.
