Here is the summary of relevant (uncommented) options:
-----------------------
Section InputDevice
Identifier    "Mouse1"
Driver         "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psm0"
Option "Resolution" "200"
-------------------------
This is on X4.3 that I compiled, However  /etc/X11/XFConfig86   is the config file not XF86Config-4.
I had to custom build my kernel to enable  atkbdc0 & atkbd0 devices. Then I disabled console moused daemon thru rc.conf. So /dev/sysmouse as a device in X no longer works.

Other error I got in X*.log are:
"(WW)fnctl(7,O_ASYNC): Inappropriate ioctl for device"
/var/log/messages (is this from /dev/psm0?):
"/kernel: psmintr: out of sync(0x0040 != 0x0008)
 /kernel:psmintr: Discard a byte(1)"

btw, can one call fnctl directly from a shell to set anything about a device? 

Thanks in advance & Rgrds
