In my XF86Config for 4.1.0 XFree86 and using NetBSD 1.5.2 there is a=20
sequence
of lines starting with:
Section "InputDevice"
This is were the keyboard characteristics are indicated. What I find=20
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=20
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=20=
mouse...

I had to re-arrange the list of resolutions from the default of=20
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=20
configure'...
