i am a FreeBSD user of 3 days and have yet to get Xwindows running.
My main problem is that I cannot get my mouse to work in the xwin setup
utility.

i think it has something to do with the fact that the devide psm0 is
disabled and is not probed during system startup (whatever that means).
what i need to know is, how do i enable the device psm0?  i think once i
am able to do this, the xwin configuration will go just fine.

send me your thoughts,
-mike
