Okay, I just tried 2.4.17-pre8 (from _devel) on my PowerStack Series E,
and the ps2 mouse seems to be working with gpm (gpm -m /dev/psaux -t
ps2).

Although it is worth noting that if i did:
while `true`;do cat /proc/interrupts ; sleep 2;done
Interrupts seemed to stop eventually.  It also takes ~100 interrupts for
a tiny mouse movement, which I'm not sure if is right or wrong..

Odd.  It seems to take 3 interrupts/keypress here (6 for up-arrow,
enter).
