Hi,

   I built a new home computer last week, and installed FreeBSD 5.0,
some comments:

1) Video card is Ati Radeon 9000, everything seens quite good and fast,
   DRI is apparently working quite well, but the radeon kernel module was
   installed in /boot/kernel instead of /modules.I did not yet build a
   custom kernel neither upgrade to -current, so this may have been already
   solved.
2) Was playing with the mouse, first, if the protocol SysMouse is selected,
   os-support/bsd_mouse.c:SetSysMouseRes() should set mode.level to 1, or
   the mouse driver will go forever trying to "resync" the input. I will
   test with other protocols, to make a reliable patch, not all protocols
   should require setting mode.level to 1.

   Also, I did not find any "howtos" about using the "mouse roller", what
I did was to set moused_flags to "-z 4 5" and add an option "Buttons" "5"
to XF86Config (I think it should not be required to specify the option
for the number of buttons, but if it is not specified, xev will show
some large buttons values, I think it was 68 and 79).

   I am considering to patch xf86config and xf86cfg to not show *PS/2
options for FreeBSD, as they are unsupported, and don't work, but moused
is enough and a cleaner alternative anyway.

  Maybe this message should go the config list, but it is now dead...

Thanks,
Paulo
