Hi:

This is my current situation:

To configure XFree86-4.0.1_10, I use XFree86 -configure and it says:

>...
>XFree86 detected your mouse at device /dev/mouse.  Please check your config if the mouse is still not operational,
as >by default XFree86 tried to autodetect the protocol.
>
>Your XF86Config file is /root/XF86Config.new

As I remember the mouse is at /dev/sysmouse.  I ran /stand/sysinstall, and it hangs at the first page where it says
it probes all devices and it takes for a while...  After all this, even shutdown -r now doesn't work anymore.  It
hangs at

syncing disks...
done
Uptime: 11m37s


What went wrong?  And X recognizes FBSD as 4.2-Beta.  Mine is 4.2-stable-20001208.  Any help would be grateful.
Thanks.
