I'm using a intellimouse

in XF86Config:
--------------
Section "Pointer"
        Protocol        "PS/2"        
        Device          "/dev/mouse"    
        BaudRate        1200           
        Resolution      100            
        ZAxisMapping    4 5            
        Buttons         3              
EndSection

I allso installed de imwheel port.

In the kernel configuration i have:
-----------------------------------

# atkbdc0 controls both the keyboard and the PS/2 mouse
device          atkbdc0 at isa? port IO_KBD
device          atkbd0  at atkbdc? irq 1 flags 0x1
device          psm0    at atkbdc? irq 12

And the mouse is in the PS/2 adapter, Not in the serial.
