Well, I hadn't realized that either until now. My XF86Config
calls for driver "radeon", not "ati". But XFree86 seems to not
care; it uses modules with both names, regardless.

Like I said, don't forget "xvidtune". It allows you to play
with such things and gives you the mode line to accomplish it.
But first ensure that your XF86Config has proper "HorizSync"
and "VertRefresh" limits set to reduce risk to your monitor
and/or graphics card.

The mouse configuration documentation is fairly good. Read
that from xfree86.org and the "moused" manual. You don't HAVE
to use "moused", IIRC, but it seems to be the best scheme. Play
with it before starting X to get it working (see /etc/rc.conf
and its manual), change XF86Config, try X. It depends on your
mouse, not your graphics card. I have
XF86Config:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
Option "Buttons" "5"
EndSection
rc.conf:
## For my PS/2-type wheel mouse:
moused_enable="YES"
moused_flags="-m 1=3 -m 3=1 -z 4 5"
moused_port="/dev/psm0"
moused_type="auto"
## For my no-name serial mouses:
#moused_flags="-m 1=3 -m 3=1"
#moused_port="/dev/cuaa0"
#moused_type="mousesystems"
