 |	Is it possible to run moused and als X ? I can;t start X when I have
 |	mousedd running, because X dies saying the nouse is busy.

 |	PS/2 mouse if it matters. gpm for Debian can output to a specific
 |	device to allow for just this purpose.

Don't know about the PS/2 mouse specifically, but seems like (I'm not
within reaching distance of my FreeBSD box now) you need to point moused to
your "real" mouse device (ttyd[0-3]), and then point your XF86Config at
/dev/sysmouse.  Something like that.  You might search the archives for
sysmouse to double check that though.
