One thing is sure, pms must be on IRQ 12. not 5. 

I tried to do a cat of -both- devices 'cat < /dev/pms0' and I get the
same problem as when I tried to using it directly with X, it freezes the
keyboard.

the weird thing is that doing cat < /dev/pms0, nothing happens when I move
the mouse. Then after doing ^C to abort the cat, I return to the shell but 
the keyboard is frozen.
