That is very likely. If I boot the host connected via PS/2 with the KVM
switched to another port the mouse wheel doesn't work at all. I've got
to switch to another port and back and trigger the usual reset. At that
point of time NetBSD will recognize a protocol change and the mouse wheel
starts working.
