I had the same probrem with my SHARP PC-MT1-H1 notebook while using
XFree86 4.2.0 binaries from xfree86.org.  I guess this is not wsmouse's
problem, but XFree86 4.2.0's.  My pad works fine in current snapshot
of xsrc compiled with 'USE_XF86_4=YES' option. Using older binaries
in xfree86.org(4.1.0) works well too.
