  Just an idea. Are you using a Mouse blanker/accelerator/whatever...?
I remember one of them (MachIII? Qmouse? I can't remember: I know it
because I recently reviewed all these *mouse programs for an article)
keeps an eye on the gvpscsi.device in order to inform you about its activity
(it merely watches the task, actually). Since I don't use this device,
I can't tell you anything about the way it proceeds, but this might be
the answer. Consult the doc of you *mouse program, if any...

  Remember: just an idea...
