many "thank yous" to the developers of netbsd.  i have installed 
netbsd 1.2 on a sparc 1+.  the install was very easy and completed 
successfully.  everything seems to work properly except for a 
small problem - X comes up with no mouse.  i can type using the keyboard.
i have substituted a working keyboard and mouse but no change.
the installed distributions are:

base.tar.gz, comp.tar.gz, etc.tar.gz, man.tar.gz, misc.tar.gz, 
secr.tar.gz, text.tar.gz, xbin.tar.gz, xcon.tar.gz, xinc.tar.gz,
xman.tar.gz

what am i overlooking?  thank you.
