For ALL mice under NetBSD: as long as there is wscons and wsmouse
support *working*, you can use the wsmouse protocol and device for X
(in fact, I think you have to use them in order to get it to work right
and not conflict with wsmouse). This is actually nice in that one
interface works with a large number of different devices. You would
only use other protocols if wsmouse/wscons support didn't exist for
your hardware.
