It might be worth double-checking you've got all the numbers straight
- I have the same arrangement, but with the ports reversed. Also,
remember that COM1 is /dev/cuaa0 on FreeBSD!
Anyway, if the mouse is on COM2, you should have an entry in
/etc/XF86Config like this:-
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "Microsoft"
Device "/dev/cuaa1"
Emulate3Buttons
EndSection
And the first thing you should do in PPP (I assume you're using
user-mode PPP to dial out?) is
set device /dev/cuaa0
(for a modem on COM1)
