    I must be missing something here...  I normally use /dev/cuaa0 for
my 'mouseman' type mouse.  After reading this thread, I tried using
/dev/sysmouse instead, but then I don't get any mouse events at all.
Neither moused nor X see the mouse, and 'cat < /dev/sysmouse' while
moving the mouse shows nothing.  However, all of the above work just
fine with /dev/cuaa0...

    What am I doing wrong?
