Hi...

	To any BSD guru out there, I would appreciate it if any of
you can help me with this problem.

I've already compile a new kernel specific for my hardware. I have ps/2
mouse . Here's the options that I put in the kernel config file.

	device psm0 at isa? ...
 	options PSM_NO_RESET
	options PSM_CHECKSYNC

Still, when I want to run X,it gave me the messages something like
" cannot open mouse, device not configured..."

BTW, in the boot process, it does say psm0 but it says disabled, not
probed. How can I change that...

Thanks in advance.....

-Hisham.
