Hi,

I have installed BSD on my PC and am trying to configure X for 
my hardware. After the configuration, I tried running the 
shell script "/usr/X11R6/bin/startx", which calls xinit.
I am able to bring up the X windows, but my mouse does not
work on my system. I have run xf86config utility .

Here is what dmesg shows:

ROOT:/root # dmesg | grep mse
mse0 not found at 0x23c
ROOT:/root # dmesg | grep psm
ROOT:/root # 

I rebuilt the kernel (as per the instructions) with psm0 enabled 
and after booting the machine, I cannot run any X-based application at
all. 

ROOT:/root # startx
Bus error - core dumped

ROOT:/root # xterm
Bus error 

I restored the original kernel and to my surprise, I still
get the same error.

1) How do I make my mouse to be recognized?

2) What should I do to atleast make the X-windows based applications 
   work with the old kernel?

Thanks in advance.

Mahesh
