[plug] Mouse problems

[Scott Middleton]

Yep its a trident thing. The cheaper msi main boards more specifically,
msi 6378 have trident cyberblades on board.  
The only way around it that i have found is to change the driver to vesa
or to reboot all the time.
Its a shame because those mainboards are good value but no good for X.

    I restarted my xserver, but no change - guess i will just have to reboot
