I just installed FreeBSD 4.2, and tried to install XFree86 4.02 from the =
ports. It got the sources and the dependencies, but when it tried to =
compile, it came up with many make errors about "PEX". So, I went to =
XFree86.org and got the 4.02 binaries. I installed them and I **think** =
it installed OK. I did xf86config, but I have a few ques. I have been =
using Slackware Linux for months, so UNIX is not new to me. I don't know =
what to put for my ps/2 MS Intellimouse. In the Fbsd install, I chose a =
generic PS/2 mouse(at /dev/psm0). I don't know what mouse protocal and =
driver to put in my XF86Config. Everytime I startx, it comes up with =
errors about how it failed to load my core pointer. Is there something =
I'm doing wrong, or am I just another FreeBSD newbie? :) ANY help would =
be greatly appreciated.    -Jeff=20
