  Hi, I have the machine mentioned in the subject line and I can't seem
to get X running.  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.
