Especially now that the input device layer in the kernel exposes just the "ExplorerPS/2" protocol, for every mouse. Assuming that works properly (and I'm not sure whether it does: I remember reading a few things online where people were arguing that it was a bad decision, based on certain hardware that they used), you shouldn't need auto; it should just be configured for ExplorerPS/2 regardless of your mouse model. OTOH, maybe the input device layer doesn't work that way anymore? I think it still does, though.
