Hmm. I don't know exactly.
I also don't know what an IntelliMouse is. Are these the ones
with the crippled middle key and with wheel?
The Specification states: Touchpad compatible with PS/2 mouse.
Linux tells something like: PS/2 mouse detected.
Openbsd tells:
  vt0 at isa0 port 0x60/16 irq 1: vga 80 col, color, 8 scr, mf2-kbd
  pms0 at vt0 irq 12

I have tried this. But it forced me to turn off severel of
the ws* stuff. Then I there wasn't a login prompt after startup
any more.

After I attempted opms0 I reenabled pms and pmsi again.
It seems to me they are already in the GENERIC_LAPTOP.
But there is no such line with pms like there is with Openbsd.

I think I tried this as the first option.
But after applying (in XF86Setup) the mouse dosen't respond.
But I think in the bootlog there sould appear the pms line first.
Or am I searching at the wrong Place?
