It would help if you could wrap your lines at approximately column 70, thanks.

You could get back to a console by typing Cntl-Alt-F1 (assuming your system was still responsive). Laptops and Xfree don't go too well together, unfortunately. For the device, make sure the kernel is finding the zp0 device on bootup. It should say something zp0: at 0x300 irq 10 .... and not zp0: not found. If it isn't finding it, make sure the settings in the card and FreeBSD match. If they don't match, use '-c' on the Boot: prompt to fix it. > Next part, is how (if at all) can I make the PS/2 trackball on the > laptop operate correctly?
