Daring to challenge the will of the almighty Leviam00se, Ron Porter
(porter@fozzie.chem.wisc.edu) had the courage to say:
: Hello all,
: I'm in the proccess of setting up X on my FreeBSD-1.1.5.1 box and
: don't know how to tell it i have a bus mouse. I know the serial ports
: use the dev/cauxx's, but what do i use so XFree86-3.1 will see my
: bus mouse
: Thanks, Ron

First, you need to recompile your kernel...
No no, wait! Come back! It's not that bad! Really!
First you need to recompile your kernel with bus mouse support. You need
to add a line to your kernel config file that looks like this:
device mse0 at isa? port 0x23c tty irq 5 vector mseintr
Once the new kernel is compiled and running, become root, go to /dev,
and then type:
# ./MAKEDEV mse0
You can then configure XFree86 to use /dev/mse0 and all should be well.
