>Description:
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.6.2R/hardware-i386.html doesn't even
mention pointers and video cards.

The "introduction" and/or "miscellaneous" sections should say something
about the OS supporting VGA-compatible cards and giving a link to 
http://www.xfree86.org for information about video cards under XFree86.

The page should also have a new section on "pointers" with some blabbing
about serial, PS/2, and bus mouses, trackballs, touchpads, etc. under
"moused" and another link to XFree86.org for more info about such 
devices under XFree86.  Maybe say that some touchpads behave as PS/2
mouses.
