I'm trying to get XFree86 2.0 working on a new DECpc 466 MTE
running FreeBSD 1.0 Release. Digital Tech Support says the mouse
that comes with the system is a PS/2-style mouse running at IRQ
12. Xconfig still seems to want a com port, though, and while the
server comes up, the mouse doesn't move, regardless of the settings.
Do I need a device driver for the mouse? Does one exist? There
doesn't seem to be a whole lot on PS/2 mice in the docs or source.
This is a new system, so drastic measures (e.g. switching to NetBSD)
aren't out of the question. Thanks.
