Alright, after having ripped most of my hair out, I'm coming here to
ask the question (I suppose I should ask bsdi-users@bsdi.com also,
but oh well):

Why the hell won't my serial mouse work under X?

- The com port shows up on dmesg
- The device looks fine
- /etc/Xconfig looks fine

Anything else I should check?
