I've a Dell Optiplex with FreeBSD 2.1.5 on it. 
I want to run X.

Being unfamiliar with the terminology, what is the differance between
a bus mouse and a PS/2 mouse?   

What are the device names for each?

Can I simply use the first com port and put my 3 button serial mouse on
it instead of using the PS/2 or bus mouse? Is there anything in the
kernel to either enable or disable depending on which is used?

Thanks loads for your response.
