I've installed XFree 2.0 on my NetBSD-box and the screenmodes work fine displaying
X on my grayscale-monitor but I can't get the mouse to work. The mouse isn't connected
to the com-ports but to a mouse-port (Compaq 486DX). What kind of mouse-driver should
I use with X? I've tried the default-drivers (microsoft, busmouse etc.) in the
Xconfig-file using /dev/com[0/1] but naturally they don't fit because my mouse is
connectected to the designated mouse-port (mini-din).

What is the device/driver to use with this kind of mouse-interface and how do I
set it up?

Please, help me. I feel like handless watching the X-screen and not been able to use
the mouse.
