I have sucessfully installed FreeBSD 2.1.5, but am having a problem
getting XFree86 running. I have all the info requested when I
configure it through /stand/sysinstall, follow "Installing and Running
FreeBSD"'s instructions, and rebuild the kernel to support my PS/2
mouse. When I change my /etc/ttys file and try XFree86 out, my mouse
works, but I am presented with what appears to be the enlarged upper
left-hand quarter of the login screen. At this screen, Iam unable to
login, even as root. 

Any help or insight is appreciated. Thanks.
