Mouse Problems on 5.0

[Manx Biaggi]

It was in X that there was the problem !!!

As I said in another post I found the problem , for some reason I had to
choose option 2, the FreeBSD mouse option, rather than number 4 , the PS/2
option that seemed the obvious choice for a PS/2 mouse ! Can someone
explain, is this a bug?
