This is necessary, because the problem was intermittent for me. usb-handoff fixes all of my problems!!! without using usb-handoff, my ps/2 mouse works 1/10 times using usb-handoff, my ps/2 mouse works 10/10 times I consider the problem solved... If Dmitry wants to make usb-handoff the default, he has my support :-). -- Michael Krufky
