echo mousereset >/dev/mousectl

granted, this is somewhat hard to do if you 
don't have a mouse.  but often not impossible.

PS/2 mouse potrebuje inicializaciji, tak samo j u X-Window.

PS/2 mice need initialisation after reset,
the same will be happend in X-Window under linux too.

I'm pretty sure that--at least for pc hardware--neither ps/2 port is
required to support hot swapping.

damn thing should drop/raise some line on disconnect/connect.

the optical ones use 'phantom' power so it _should_ be possible,
but maybe the pc side doesn't you access to that sort of info.

it's for similar reasons that i start a listener in my termrc when
service=term so that i can access the box even when the mouse is
unplugged or the window system dies.

unfortunately, cursor is over acme window. (the box
computes some task for 5 weeks now, so I don't
want to restart it). Thanks, nevertheless!
