That'd be a neat trick - there is no 2.3. ;) To answer your question, though, the psm driver has worked certainly in every 2.2.x version of FreeBSD, and I seem to remember it worked in 2.1.6, though I wouldn't swear on it ;) In short: if you've obtained a version of FreeBSD in the last year and a half it'll support your PS/2 mouse. So, not really all that recent .... ;) Perhaps this FAQ could be updated?
