I am currently having problems configuring the device
on a PS/2 style mouse on a Gateway 4DX-33.  We're 
running netBSD 0.8 and have XFree86 v1.3 installed.
The login screen comes up and the "X" comes up with
the system (which really looks GREAT!), but when it
goes into xinit or whatever, the window opens up in the
upper-left-hand corner of the screen, and the mouse won't
move the "X" anywhere...

I've tried tipping to the com, but I don't get any errors
or reactions.  I'm kinda hoping that someone out there has
experienced (and solved) this annoying little problem.

Thanks for any and all help...
