Just finished installing v2.0.5. Ran into mice problem. Every
time I startx, my mouse either totally doesn't work or skips
(I see the pointer, then it's gone, then I see it again) and
I get a whole bunch of the following errors:

sio0: <some_number> more interrupt level overflows...

I tried two different mice to no avail. Mouse is connected to
DTC 2280 super I/O card (16550) and my computer is a generic
Pentium 90.

It might be something trivial (bad serial port?), but I haven't
dealt with FreeBSD before, so any clue where to look is
appreciated.
