[kde-freebsd] Need to start KDE twice to get mouse recognized

[Jerry]

I know that this issue was discussed several months ago; however, I was
wondering if a solution was found.

When I first start KDE, the mouse is not recognized. It just sits idle
in the middle of the screen. From the "Xorg.0.log.old" file:

snippet:

(II) config/hal: Adding input device Microsoft 2.4GHz Transceiver v7.0
(II) LoadModule: "mouse"
(II) Loading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/input/mouse_drv.so
(II) Module mouse: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
        compiled for 1.7.7, module version = 1.7.1
        Module class: X.Org XInput Driver
        ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 7.0
(WW) Microsoft 2.4GHz Transceiver v7.0: No Device specified, looking for one...
(II) Microsoft 2.4GHz Transceiver v7.0: Setting Device option to "/dev/ums0"
(--) Microsoft 2.4GHz Transceiver v7.0: Device: "/dev/ums0"
(==) Microsoft 2.4GHz Transceiver v7.0: Protocol: "Auto"
(**) Microsoft 2.4GHz Transceiver v7.0: always reports core events
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/ums0"
(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/ums0
        Device busy.
(EE) Microsoft 2.4GHz Transceiver v7.0: cannot open input device
(II) UnloadModule: "mouse"
(EE) PreInit returned NULL for "Microsoft 2.4GHz Transceiver v7.0"
(EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (8)

Now, if I use the <CTRL> <SHIFT> <BKSP> combination to shut KDE down
and immediately restart it, the mouse is properly recognized. From
"Xorg.0.log"

snippet:

(II) config/hal: Adding input device Microsoft 2.4GHz Transceiver v7.0
(II) LoadModule: "mouse"
(II) Loading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/input/mouse_drv.so

(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Microsoft 2.4GHz Transceiver v7.0" (type: MOUSE)
(**) Microsoft 2.4GHz Transceiver v7.0: (accel) keeping acceleration scheme 1
(**) Microsoft 2.4GHz Transceiver v7.0: (accel) acceleration profile 0
(II) Microsoft 2.4GHz Transceiver v7.0: SetupAuto: hw.iftype is 4, hw.model is 0
(II) Microsoft 2.4GHz Transceiver v7.0: SetupAuto: protocol is SysMouse
(II) config/hal: Adding input device Microsoft 2.4GHz Transceiver v7.0

This happens every time. Is there a known fix for this problem?
