Finally L Jonas Olsson <ljo@vger.EEAP.CWRU.Edu> helped me in saying: For old Logitech mice try: Mousesystems "/dev/com0" # BaudRate 9600 # SampleRate 150 # Emulate3Buttons (Check what serial port your mouse is on) (don't specify baudrate and samplerate) For modern Logitech mice, try substituting "Logitech" or "Microsoft" (trust me...) +------------------------------- Now my Logtech S9 mouse works without Problems with the Mousesystems entry. Isn't that something for the X386 FAQ ?
