5.1. About mouse configuration

If your serial mouse does not work try using kermit or tip to connect to the mouse serial port and verify that it does indeed generate characters.

The NetBSD pms mouse driver handles PS/2 style mice as Busmouse. Specify the protocol busmouse in the mouse section of your XF86Config file if you're using a PS/2 mouse.
