I had to custom build my kernel to enable atkbdc0 & atkbd0 devices. Then I disabled console moused daemon thru rc.conf. So /dev/sysmouse as a device in X no longer works. Other error I got in X*.log are: "(WW)fnctl(7,O_ASYNC): Inappropriate ioctl for device" /var/log/messages (is this from /dev/psm0?): "/kernel: psmintr: out of sync(0x0040 != 0x0008) /kernel:psmintr: Discard a byte(1)" btw, can one call fnctl directly from a shell to set anything about a device?
