My problem is getting the mouse to work within Xwin. I have a standalone PC with a MS mouse plugged into comA (serial port). I've tried using both tty00 and tty01 within Xconfig, but the cursor dosen't respond. Does the mouse need to be set up within FreeBSD first (how)? Should I be using another device within /dev for the mouse? I searched the man pages and any faqs I could find. -Mark Hulse-
