Summary: What device to configure, and how?

I'm running FreeBSD 1.1.5.1R on a DECpc 433dxLP (486dx/33mhz). This
system has a PS/2 style mouse port. I'd like to keep the regular
serial ports available for other purposes.

I'm trying to install XFree 2.1.1, and need to know both the mouse
settings for the Xconfig file, and the proper device and parameters
to config into the kernel.

If this is in a FAQ, I apologize in advance. I didn't find it.

Thanks!
