Hey all.

   I know this subject _might_ have been discussed some times, but I don't
know where else to turn to.

   I've installed FreeBSD 2.1.5. on my P120, with the mouse on COM1, but no
matter what I do, I cannot make any contact to the mouse. It is, of cause,
XWindows that makes the trouble with the message 'Device not configured'

   What is the generel way of setting up a mouse? Which file(s) should I
edit, and what should I write in them? Is there anywhere on the Net (that I
haven't tried yet) that can learn me more on the subject of installing
peripherals, such as ATAPI CD-ROM-drive and soundcard?

   Hope someone will be so kind as to help me, since I'm in dire need of a
kick in the right direction.

   Best regards, and thank you in advance,

   Casper Helenius
