   I was wondering if support for PS/2 style mice was ever added to NetBSD.  
   The comment for NetBSD 1.0 was that PS/2 mouse support was broken.
   Is this fixed for NetBSD-current?

Actually, it does work in NetBSD-1.0.  Not sure why it states
otherwise.

Just make sure you tell XFree86 that you have a "busmouse" on pms0.
