I am having trouble determining what my mouse file is in 
/dev under FreeBSD 2.0.5. I read comments in README.FreeBSD 
but none of the advise in there seemed to work. According 
to MAKEDEV, the file should be something like /dev/psm0, 
but when I load that in the config file xstart still can't 
find the mouse. During bootup, it looks like the port is 
being recognized as sio0, but no sio entries show up in 
/dev. I have a Gateway2000 P5-60.
