Hello, Manuel.

No, it seems PS/2 mouse works fine under NetBSD but only my USB mouse 
have that problem.  I just recompiled kernel with both PS/2 and USB 
mouse support and wsmux off.  To select PS/2 mouse, I just choose 
/dev/wsmouse0 in XF86Config and to select USB mouse, I set /dev/wsmouse1 
in XF86Config.  PS/2 mouse is very stable and solid.  But USB mouse has 
that random instability of dragging, etc.  I don't think it's broken 
since it works solid in both Linux and Windows98.

I would hope to use USB mouse since that's an optical one, therefore, 
don't have to clean the wheels etc. :( Does having wsmux in kernel 
selectively choose USB mouse over PS/2 mouse when both are enabled in 
kernel? Thank you.
