Is it a standard PS/2 mouse or an 'IntelliMouse'?

There is a mouse driver available for PS/2 mice that lets you specify the
IRQ line:

#opms0  at pc? irq 12           # PS/2 auxiliary port mouse

It should just work with either pms or pmsi.. how does the mouse fail?
Also, remember that with most of the mouse drivers on NetBSD, you need to
use type 'wsmouse' and device '/dev/wsmouse0' with X to use them.

Hope this helps,
