	So far, my theory is that, using the PS/2 port that is
	becoming standard:

	Protocol: "Auto"
	Device:   "/dev/sysmouse"

	in /etc/XF86Config, and the moused line

	moused -p /dev/psm0 -t auto

	will work for nearly every mouse, PS/2 or serial.  --This
	is for X4.2*.  I'm not certain about this and need more 
	input.    The serial side of configuration is more open-ended.

	Seems to me that if a enough people on this list would cut-and-
	paste their XF86Config  mouse Sections and the moused line from
	ps ax  that we would have enough for some kind of config list.
	And I'd have a starting point for the handbook docs.
