Our /dev/psm0 is non-blocking by default. Edit your /etc/Xaccel.ini to point at /dev/psm0 and it 'should just work'. It works for me with both 2 and 3 button PS/2 mice :-). Xsetup used to give a default device name of /dev/pms0 for the PS/2 mouse device which confused me for a while till I noticed the spelling difference.. -- Doug Rabson, Microsoft RenderMorphics Ltd.
