If you're using XFree86 3.x, note that (as David O'Brien pointed out earlier on this mailing list): The "graphical" XFree86 configuration program -- XF86Setup program *requires* the VGA16 server. This server does NOT build on the Alpha. Not just FreeBSD/alpha, but AlphaLinux and Tru86 also. The issue with using the text-only xf86config is that it does not know about moused's sysmouse. Thus you either cannot use moused, or you must hack the /etc/XF86Config file xf86config creates to specify sysmouse. So, basically you'll need to know what kind of monitor you have, what sort of resolution / refresh rate its capable of & what sort of video card you have. If I had to guess, I'd imagine you have an Elsa Gloria Synergy (3Dlabs Permedia-2 based) card. Good luck.
