Hello,

I dug around my log files for Slackware (which has protocol set to "auto" in the configuration file) and found that the protocol used is ExplorerPS/2. So I set the protocol in NetBSD to ExplorerPS/2, and I get:

Code:
Mouse1: protocol "ExplorerPS/2" is not supported on this platform

Why isn't supported (XFree86's website says it is, but it also says to use device "wsmouse0" which will cause X to crash - device not found; I have to use "wsmouse"), I don't know? I also don't know why the configuration program will allow me to select protocols that aren't supported by the platform.
