In -current, the PS/2 mouse driver is compiled in but disabled. The reason it's not enabled by default is that it tends to hang some machines during the probe, and since it's not necessary it's better to have it gone than have it mess the system up. However, since it's now trivial to enable the driver with the '-c' option at the boot prompt and Bruce added the 'disable' keyword I figured it was safe to add to the GENERIC kernel. The short answer is that it's now in the GENERIC kernel. :) Nate
