hello,

I just installed Xfree86 3.3 on my computer running FreeBSD 2.1.7, but
when I try to start X, it tells me that it can't find my mouse. I have
an intel venus motherboard that has a built in ps/2 mouse port and I
have uncommented the line in the generic kernel about the ps/2 mouse
support and recompiled the kernel and installed it. 

I am stuck and can't find anything that will help me solve the
problem. Thanks in advance for any help.

michael
