for the first part, it shows my wired mouse only:

sjss at elrond 19:48:52 (0) ~ > dmesg | grep -i mouse
ums0: Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse, rev 2.00/18.00, addr 3, iclass 3/1

for the second, I guess I didn't expect it to provide /that/ much
diagnostic information. With "moused -d -f -p /dev/sysmouse -t auto",
only the logictech produces output - the microsoft does not.

Given the lack of output, I take it that it is safe to assume there is
no low level driver for my mouse? Should I provide my system's
configuration file as well (from buildkernel - I know I turned off a
lot of wireless stuff in the config, but I didn't think it would
affect this).
