We have a Toshiba T1900 laptop with FreeBSD.
We would like to use the BallPoint Mouse (actually a trackball) connected
to the "Quick Port Connection" or a PS/2 mouse using not the serial port.

Is there a device for these mice and a driver for X-windows.
In MAKEDEV there is an psm* for a PS/2 mouse, but the device is missing.
(For NetBSD there seems to be a mms* and a pms* device.)
