I'm using FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 and XFree86 3.1. The first problem is I can't seem to find the mouse device. When I boot, the O.S. finds sio0 and sio1 so I tried cat <tty00 and cat <tty01 This just freezes everything up. Anyone have any ideas? mse0 and psm0 do not seem to be configured in the base kernel. Does anyone have a FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 kernel with this devices configured? Secondly, I have a DEC PCXCV-GE monitor and I can't find the specs. I just picked some values for the vert. and horz. sync. using the configuration program but I don't know if it works. Finally, Possibly a result of the last problem, when I start the server I just get a blank black screen, and don't seem to be able to do anything. (by the way I have the mouse device set to tty00, even though that is not right). Any ideas on any of these things would be welcome. --Scott Thibault Univ. of Missouri-Rolla
