There is an XF86Setup package available, but it is not in the base
distribution.

  It looks like ps2 mice are not configured to use wsmouse in GENERIC in
1.4.2 (they are in -current).  But the opms driver is enabled, so you
should be able to use /dev/pms0 protocol busmouse.

  1.4C is a develepment version after 1.4.

  I think the 1.4.2 packages should work with 1.4.1.  I think you may also
be able to just drop in a 1.4.2 kernel with a 1.4.1 userland (though you
might need a new ps and friends).
