Again - I want to know, how to configure my mouse for XFree.
First I need to know what device it is bound to.
A simple 'cat < /dev/psm0' (like the example in README.FreeBSD) only
presents the error 'device psm0 not configured' or such a thing.
In which way may I configure _any_ device ?

I think section 2.7 in the FreeBSD.FAQ in /usr/share/FAQ/Text/ is a 
good place for answering such a question but there is only an empty
line so this FAQ does not tell me something about configuring my mouse. 

That does not looks like a good documentation. But that is an FPO 
(frequently posted opinion) - I know. ;)
