For almost ever, the GENERIC configuration has not turned on pms mouse
support. The reason for this is that the mouse would hang some
machines during probe. A rather long time ago, I identified what I
thought the problem was with the mouse support. Charles fixed the
problem. As you can see from the code change below this was a major
typo.
I would like to reenable pms support for GENERIC (perhaps in time for
this new snapshot) because:
1. It is believed to work now.
2. If the mouse has some problems, they need to be fixed since
this mouse is so common.
3. A generic kernel gets installed as part of sysinst and it
is silly to install X and not full mouse support. (You can
not use X w/o a mouse.
