Thanks for your reply. As for the flags, as you know 0x*** is the format for a hexadecimal number, where each place can take the value of 0 through f (0-15). So each place is "worth" 4 bits, and 0x100 would be 0001 0000 0000 in binary, with bit 0 defined as the rightmost bit. So the 0x100 mask would set the 9th bit from the right, or in other words, "bit 8". I restarted the machine with boot -c again, set the 0x100 flag in psm and this time the mouse worked like a champ. Don't know why it didn't work yesterday. Now all I have to is figure out how to add it to the kernel.
