Ahh, the PR... it looks like there is still no support for it even in the
current XFree86 CVS. :( Should be a matter of adding a case for a few switch
statements though, the PCI ID is already defined. It's possibly already
supported in some PPC patches (the newer iMacs have such a chip).
I don't think that the xserver-rage128 would support your chip either...

Ah, I didn't understand you meant the 3.3.x server.

Note that the new input layer isn't only for USB, that's just how it came in.
/dev/input/mice is a 'mixer' device which emits the sum of all mouse events in
ImPS/2 protocol - very handy for hot-plugging mice.
