IF you are running FreeBSD 2.2.6 or later and XFree86 3.3.2 or later,
and you have `moused' running, you MUST tell the X server that
/dev/sysmouse is your mouse port (if /dev/mouse is linked to
/dev/sysmouse, it's OK), and specify "SysMouse" or "Auto" as protocol.

IF you are NOT running `moused', the mouse port for your PS/2
IntelliMouse should be /dev/psm0 and the protocol MUST be "PS/2".

See /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.mouse.
