Subject: [XFree86] Configuring mouse properly

I got FreeBSD installed and running nicely (after the install glitches I
ran into, and several people kindly helped me on). However, when I
tried setting up XFree86 (this is the version off of the BSDisc vol 1,
#2), I had some problems. First of all, the XConfig stuff dies when
it tries to do the twiddling for the display -- I was able to look
through the script and figure out that everything else was set up by
that point, so I moved the file from tmp to the proper location. When
I try running it, however, it dies, telling me that my mouse is not
configured. I have an MSC OmniMouse II (2-button) on com1.
How can I "twiddle" my monitor settings, and what do I need to set to
what to have my mouse properly configured?
Thanks,
-bkc
