In my XF86Config for 4.1.0 XFree86 and using NetBSD 1.5.2 there is a
sequence
of lines starting with:
Section "InputDevice"
This is were the keyboard characteristics are indicated. What I find
there
looks pretty generic, even though I'm using a ps2 external keyboard on
my laptop (some of the integral keyboard keys no longer work...)
Further on:
another
Section "ImputDevice"
gives the mouse data. In my NetBSD case, I needed to specify
the '/dev/wsmouse' device rather than '/dev/mouse' to get my Presario
touch
pad to work as 'the mouse'. I have not tried an external mouse as I'm
already using the PS2 port, and well, haven't had the guts to try a USB
mouse...

I had to re-arrange the list of resolutions from the default of
640x480... to
be 1024x768 during the configuration process. You could manually do this
which are further down in the config file.
Don't know if that helps, but, yes, XFree86 is a pain to 'install and
configure'...
