Hi there,
   I have recently installed BSD2.0 over the 'net was was very pleased at
how fast and, relatively easy it was. I am now attempting to setup
X-Windows after getting the latest version of that, X11R6. Apart from not
recognising my S3 card [thats OK I will live with mono, for now] the
biggest problem I have is that no matter what I do I can't find the mouse
! Now I know its plugged into COM1 under DOS and that spo01 is defiently
there.. but using mouse or tty00 for the devices for my X-Windows config
gives me no joy.

If someone could help me identify where the mouse is and how to properly
set it up for X-Windows, it would be much appreciated.

ColinM
