+
+        <p>
+          If you are using syscons (the default console driver), you can
+          configure FreeBSD to support a mouse pointer on each virtual
+          screen.  In order to avoid conflicting with X, syscons supports
+          a virtual device called ``<tt>sysmouse</tt>''.  All mouse events
+          received from the real mouse device are written to the sysmouse
+          device, using the MouseSystems protocol.  If you wish to use your
+          mouse on one or more virtual consoles, <bf/and/ use X, the
+          following configuration is recommended:
+
+        <verb>
+          /etc/sysconfig:
+            mousedtype=ps/2          # or whatever your actual type is
+            mousedport=/dev/psm0     # or whatever your real port is
+
+          /etc/XF86Config
+            Section Pointer
+                Protocol "MouseSystems"
+                Device   "/dev/sysmouse"
+                .....
+        </verb>
+
+        <p>
+          Some people prefer to use ``<tt>/dev/mouse</tt>'' under X.  To
+          make this work, ``<tt>/dev/mouse</tt>'' should be linked to
+          ``<tt>/dev/sysmouse</tt>'':
+
+        <verb>
+          cd /dev
+          rm -f mouse
+          ln -s sysmouse mouse
+        </verb>
