    Hello,

    on a box that must not reboot, a user accidentally pulled the
    PS/2 mouse connector. After reconnecting the mouse and restarting
    moused, this still didn't restore the mouse, because the psm driver
    replies with a:
      unable to open /dev/psm0: Device not configured.

    How do I force psm driver to rescan and reinitialize the mouse,
    WITHOUT rebooting that box?

    Thanks,
    -cpghost.
