Hello folks,

I have a Dell 460/T with a PS2 style mouse.  The FAQ for XFree86 mentions
that a driver for this beastie exists, but doesn't say where.  Anyone have
one?

Also, my system came with an S3 805 chip with 1M RAM.  Previously I have seen
messages that XS3 doesn't work with 805 chips because the memory can't be
mapped into the range they want.  Is this still true with NetBSD?  Does it
work at all?  (I can live without burning up the screen with xstones..)
