yes, there is wsmouse support. I forget the actual path I used to get a
good configuration, but there is a NEW configuration utility that sets
up stuff using vga16 that has wsmouse as a select option. You use the
keyboard initially to get to the mouse configureation. It is a bit 
counter-intuitive to get the thing initally running, but... it did work
for me.

I have an ati rage fury pro or somesuch in my athlon pc that runs just
fine. The weird all screens get screensaved when X does its thing has
been fixed, and for the most part I haven't seen any problems with X
in my normal useage, just built in netscrape problems that hang it
up and need a kill -9 on the netscape instance. I downloaded the X 4.0.2
from xfree but the tree I used should be the exact same. I just installed
it over the pre-existing xsrc version of X and tinkered a little bit.

If it would help, I can post or email the config file I ended up with, as
I forget exactly how I got it.
