Here's what I did to make my mouse work.

Driver:  psm.c  by Johan Solhed - 

	If this is not what you are using I can get you the ftp site address.

	I had to increase his MAX_RETRIES value to 5 in order to make it
	work.

Config file:

I used the following options:

options		NEW_SELECT
options		EMULATE_MICROSOFT

and configured my mouse as:

device          psm0    at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 12 vector psmintr


In my Xconfig file I used:

microsoft	 "/dev/psaux"
Emulate3Buttons
