Re: X11 pauses on FreeBSD 14 that are "fixed" by moving the mouse.

It's a Lightspeed G903 from Logitec.  It has special features in Winblows,
but it also has a "feature" that it remembers it's settings when not in
winblows.  It shows up as a USB mouse and a USB keyboard (because you can
remap the buttons).  It is wireless, but it's wireless to USB.  It also
charges by sitting on the mousemat ... virtually never needing to be
plugged in.

Anyways... things stop when the mouse stops and go when the mouse is used
--- so it doesn't seem like an interrupt storm.  AFAICR, it's set to 1000
samples / second.

I'm not a fan of Apple anything.  I'm kinda interested in the Risc-V
ecosystem, but it's taking awhile to get there.  Until then, this
threadripper is pretty good.
