Hi.  I'm trying to get NetBSD-0.9 running on my thinkpad 750.

Actually, I have the basic system up and running, now I'm trying to
run X.  The pms.c driver in 0.9 was badly broken.  I tried subbing in
the one from NetBSD-current -- it's much closer but it still doesn't
work -- hangs in the probe routine (I commented out the code and just
had it return 1) -- now it spits out characters when the mouse moves,
but it's not at all what X expects.

Is there a better driver I can lift from somewhere else (FreeBSD?).
