If you have a bus mouse, use /dev/pms0 as the mouse device.

This shouldn't be necessary.

The normal xdm probably won't work with our X setup; instead, use
"startx" to start the X server and ctrl-alt-backspace to stop it.
After you get X working, change "off" to "on" in the last line of
/etc/ttys and the Athena xlogin will come up at boot time.

Look near the end of /usr/X11/lib/X11/doc/VideoModes.txt; it tells you
how to correct this problem.
