I may have missed this, but... is it possible to use a ps/2 type mouse under NetBSD-0.9 (For use with XFree86). If so, how? more specifically, I have a gateway2000 486/66V, JX-30 micronics motherboard with a ps/2 type mouse enebled on IRQ12. I have tried rebuilding the kernel to include pms0 (nad made the device), but X doesn't seem to know the mouse is there (even though it at least stopped complaining that there was no mouse device configured). On a second note, if the answer is to disable it and buy a serial mouse, any suggestions on good mice? thanks, -eric (post replies or e-mail direct to ejr@ee.cornell.edu)
