I found with my Microcrap PS/2 mouse that I had to use wscons.

Use /dev/wsmouse0 with wsmouse protocol.

Also I had to build a kernal, commenting out all other wsmouse entries
except the one I needed (not sure why).

hope this sheds some light,

XiT

Subject: Stupid newbie question: PS/2 IntelliMouse


	Hi. I imagine the answer to this is obvious, but I haven't been
able to find it yet. Heck, maybe I should have directed this to an X list
instead.
	I'm using NetBSD 1.4.1 on i386. My machine (a Gateway) has a PS/2
compatible Microsoft IntelliMouse. It appears to be on pms0 (correct me if
I'm wrong, but the machine appears to be acknowledging the existence of
the mouse here). I've tried a bunch of different configurations:
IntelliMouse, PS/2, MS compatible, etc. Every time I use xfree86 (through
xinit or xdm), the pointer starts to move when I move the mouse, but
immediately migrates to a corner of the screen and refuses to go very far
away. The buttons don't appear to be working properly either, but I
haven't been able to diagnose exactly what is happening.
	Any suggestions?
