Dang... I guess I need to see if I can dig up my old patch that
implemented it as a config option. Basically another sub-thingie under
PS/2 Mouse (since it is only the mouse that wigs).
Sounds like a lot of people have thoroughly broken PS/2 controllers.
Doesn't sound write that if you use your mouse the status bits are set
to error.
Alan, guess it is not a good idea to add that patch I sent you.
