Is using /hurd/mouse still correct? How does pc_mouse detect if it's PS/2 or serial? I would like to update the TWiki page:
It does not. You just have to use the right parameters. Those are just like the old mouse translator. I just changed the default.
Actually, I have not tested if a serial mouse works because I don't have one here. I hope you can do that... :)
I've tested with serial mouse without success. --protocol=microsoft doesn't catch. --protocol=logitech gave total freeze of the system.
--device=com0/com1 has no effect on PS/2 mouse -- probably this is expected behaviour.
Why are not all --protocol parameters listed in /hurd/mouse --help? OK, /hurd/mouse won't be used anymore, but anyway, these options should be documented. Is it possible --help to load all drivers and make them print their options?
When -d pc_mouse, --device=.. should always be used instead of -d, I guess.
So when --repeat is given, always -c should be given too. Is this correct?
ls -l /dev/cons gives the following buggy result:

Should I report to BTS these buggy outputs? Looks like some translators report buggy sizes.
