using FreeBSD 2.1.0 - trying to get microsoft serial mouse working for 
XFree86

The mouse is physically on sio0. When I recompile my kernel to add device 
psm0, it knocks out sc0/vt0, and my keyboard stops working.

/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT predicts this (#psm: PS/2 mouse port [note: 
conflicts with sc0/vt0, thus "conflicts keywd"], but what's the fix?

Here's the relevant lines from my KERNEL:


# syscons is the default console driver, resembling an SCO console
#device		sc0	at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector scintr
#Enable this and PCVT_FREEBSD for pcvt vt220 compatible console driver
device		vt0	at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector pcrint
options		"PCVT_FREEBSD=210"	# pcvt running on FreeBSD 2.1
options		XSERVER			# include code for XFree86

device		sio0	at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty irq 4 vector siointr
device		sio1	at isa? port "IO_COM2" tty irq 3 vector siointr
device		sio2	at isa? port "IO_COM3" tty irq 5 vector siointr
device		sio3	at isa? port "IO_COM4" tty irq 9 vector siointr

#device		mse0	at isa? port 0x23c tty irq 5 vector mseintr
device		psm0	at isa? port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12 vector psmintr


Thanks for the help!
