Hi,
	I have freeBSD1.1. running on a compaq 486/DX2 (50MHz) computer.
	I am trying to install X on it. I followed the man pages and set
	the Xconfig file. when I try to run 'startx' command, it is reporting
	"can not open mouse file (Device not configured)".
	I have mse0 file /dev directory. I do not know what is that I am doing
	wrong here.
	Mouse is a 'compaq' company mouse and uses mouse.com in DOS environment.
	In the mouse part of configuration file I have these lines
	MouseMan	/dev/mse0
	baudrate	9600
	the other ione is 3button emulation (I do not remember exact keyword).

	I appreciate any help in this regard.

	Thank you very much
