>Description:
	The i386 pms driver doesn't mention that it translates any and
	all input events from a PS/2 auxiliary pointing device to the
	"bus mouse" protocol. This bites naive users when they try 
	to use the pms driver and configure a "PS/2" mouse protocol
	for XFree86.
>How-To-Repeat:
	See above.  
>Fix:
	Here's a sample updated manpage.

Please note: if this gets committed, I think I'm legally
required to add a Stanford copyright. If the text below looks
OK, please contact me and I'll  DTRT.

PS/2 auxiliary port mouse driver
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.\" XXX this is awful hackery to get it to work right... -- cgd
.Cd "pms0 at pckbd? irq 12
.Sh DESCRIPTION
This driver provides an interface to a PS/2 auxiliary port mouse.
Only one
.Xr pms 4
unit is supported, as PS/2-style input devices provide only
one auxiliary  port.
.Pp
The driver automatically translates mouse events to the LogiTech-style
"bus mouse" protocol, as  implemented by the
.Xr lms 4
driver. This translation cannot be disabled.  Higher-level software using the
.Nm pms
device should be configured to use the same protocol as would be
used for the
.Xr lms 4
device. 
.Pp
For XFree86, this is the
.Nm busmouse
protocol.
