	On a system running:

FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT #0 r326723: Sat Dec  9 12:30:04 EST 2017  amd64

	there is a man page, in section 4x.
	That's the good news.
	The bad news is I see no mention of needing to add anything to
the kernel; it's presented as a Xorg input device.
	Reported as
	"https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=224793".
