A busmouse is not a serial mouse, so you wouldn't expect to access it via
one of the serial lines. You need to enable the busmouse in your kernel
config, rebuild the kernel, and then use /dev/mse (??? is that what it is
under FreeBSD, I don't remember) to access it.

Get XFree86 3.1.2. Until you get 3.1.2 turn off the Num_Lock key.
