	The X server's diagnostic messages are not the most helpful in
the world. Make sure that your kernel detected wsmouse0 and wskbd0,
and that the X server can access them. On my system I also need to
wsconscfg a screen or two, since I'm running with a serial console.

	I think the traditional X way is "make World".
