Not much
>Environment:
userland, including X11, form NetBSD-6.99.14/i386
kernel from NetBSD-6.99.14/amd64
>Description:
        When running an i386 userland, including X11, on an amd64 kernel,
        the mouse pointer moves only horizontally and vertically,
        it won't move in any other direction.

        Attempts to move in other directions usually result in horizontal
        movement.  Moving vertically is possible only if you aim carefully.

>How-To-Repeat:
        See Description.
