Please try protocol busmouse.
I don't yet using XFree86 3.1.2E, and only using 3.1.2C (known as
X11R6.1). So, may be this infomation is old but the README.NetBSD
come with it says:
5.1. Configuring a PS/2 mouse for XFree86 on NetBSD
The NetBSD pms mouse driver handles PS/2 style mice as Busmouse.
Specify the protocol `busmouse' in the mouse section of your
XF86Config file if you're using a PS/2 mouse.
