Yeah, I've got a Intellimouse Explorer with the "tilt" wheel and it doesn't 
work correctly with USB so I just use the PS/2 adapter.  I'm not sure if it's 
our usb code, or the mouse is "slightly" non standard, but I made a small 
hack to get it working, but the mouse then is unreliable and misses clicks.  
I'm working on a NetBSD import of the USB code, but it'll be a while and I 
don't know if it will even fix this.
