This is not a shell issue.  The problem is that I start abuse, switch
VTs, then switch back, and abuse has forgotten that I have a PS2

What happens exactly. Do you get an error message? Does the mouse simply
stop responding? Are you running gpm? I've tested this out with my PS/2
mouse, but haven't had any problems switching VC's.
