I've gotten reports that the PS/2 mouse driver still wipes out some Pentium boxes, so it's still not safe for 2.2 yet. I'm hoping that by enabling it in -current we can get more feedback and possibly find a fix so we can un-disable it in 2.2. As far as writing out 'disabled' I can see value in doing it both ways, so I have no preference. Nate
