I have a three button logitech "MouseMan Serial-MousePort" mouse. It 
plugs into my ps/2 port. Anyway, the mouse works flawlessly in the 
console. However, once I start X, it begins to act funny.

Well, it moves fine and tracks great. But mouse clicks don't work too 
well. For example, I have to click about 8 times on the gnome menu to 
get it to pop up. Draging works fine, and generally anything where the 
mouse moves and then clicks is ok. But simply double-clicking on an icon 
takes about 16 clicks. I have quoted from my /etc/X11/XF86Config file at 
the end of this message.

you'll notice I wrote "SysMouse" for my protocol. This is exactly what 
the bsd installer told me to put here.

Anyway, here are my questions:
1) What should be in here? (my logitech is not one of the old 
serial-port only mouses, btw (c7 type). Its M$ compatible I think)
2) Where are the system preferences for the console mouse stored? I've 
been able to use the sysinstall program to reconfigure it before, but 
I'd prefer to just edit a file ;-) any suggestions?

My computer is running FreeBSD 4.5/intel. The mouse worked fine in 4.4 
(if only I had saved those config files... :D). The ps/2 port is part of 
the motherboard (its not an add on card or anything). If it helps, my 
computer is a 500mzh k6.

Thanks, your help will be much appreciated!

from /etc/X11/XF86Config:

     Identifier  "Mouse1"

# When using XQUEUE, comment out the above two lines, and uncomment
# the following line.
