Hi, all,

	I have FreeBSD 2.0.1.  I have a PS/2 style mouse port on my machine.
I have an STB Horizon video card and a standard 1024x768 monitor.

	1) For some reason, when looking at the mouse port, mse0, I get the
following messages on boot:
	mse0: wrong signature ff
	mse0 not found at 0x23c

	2) When I start X (by running startx) I get the following error
message:

	can't access ttyv4.

	Now I have the first four virtual consoles enabled (console +
ttyv1-ttyv3).  What gives?  This sucker should start right up out of
the box after I choose and config the server, right?

	Thanks,

		Matt
