I think Intellimouse is for the newer scroll-wheel mice.. I have a
two-wheeled cordless mouse for my laptop and it uses 'pmsi'.

How about this one:

#opms*          at pckbc?               # backwards compatible PS/2 mouse

That should work with wscons..

OpenBSD <= 2.8 doesn't use wscons (it's present in their current branch

opms should function like the OpenBSD driver, so give it a shot and tell
me how it goes.
