No I didn't install mdetect.  I just installed x-window-system-core, gdm,
and icewem.  When I run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg all I get are those
two mouse options.  I'll check dmesg and i'll look in /dev for /dev/psm(?)
when I get back home later today.  I did try appending xorg.conf and
changing /dev/sysmouse to /dev/psm but then X failed to start.

When I try to install the kbdcontrol package it tells me it depends on
keymaps and it doesn't install.  I presume that I need the kbdcontrol
package for my keyboard?
Also when I try to install kfreebsd-config, it hangs when listening to my
ethernet connection after it says done.  I'll give you a more formal error
message later.
