Woohoo!!!  Works great here.  Applied the patch, recompiled the kernel,
scp'ed it over to the z50 and my mouse pointer works again!

For anyone interested, I have posted another precompiled kernel at:

Our DNS is flaky, and we've been getting feedback from some people that
nothing on our network is resolving, so if you have problems with that
try:

http://208.16.19.49/netbsd.gz

This is -current from about two days ago, with Greg's patch applied.  I've
left in support for all the networking devices from GENERIC, enabled LCD
blanking, removed all USB code, and compiled it specifically for the
VR4121 chipset.

Based on the feedback from Billy, it sounds like this will work just fine
with NetBSD 1.5.1.

Don't apologize!  Without you, it doesn't look the IBM z50 users would
have ever gotten to use the track point under NetBSD :-)
