With virtually all PCs now equipped with PS/2 style mouse ports, why all
the grief associated with using such a mouse with FreeBSD?  The
XF86Config program even has a selection for PS/2 style mouse but it
creates an /etc/XF86Config file that DOESN'T WORK.

The device "/dev/mouse" does not exist.  Some documentation says to use
/dev/sysmouse.  Again this device doesn't exist.
