Again, I am not exactly on a FreeBSD subject.

I am attempting to use XFree86 3.3 with a Digital Equipment
Corp. Celebris, and, FreeBSD 2.1.5.  I have ordered the latest CD
for other reasons.

The machine has a Digital Equipment Corp. "Keyboard/mouse controller" 
0x60-0x64, Keyboard IRQ1, Mouse IRQ 12.  The connector is like a
PS/2 connector.  I have tried configuring this with XF85Setup, but,
I get no pointer response for any of the modes.

Is there any support for this configuration?  Is my only hope to
get a serial mouse?  I like the way this one handles and have
used DEC Workstations in the past.

Any ideas?
