Full sig: finger jpg@pax.inria.fr Apologies if my suggestion caused you problems, however you didn't actually follow my instructions :-) , but it is the solution for a PS/2 type mouse, not a logitech (I probably didn't make this clear with my wholescale deletion of the original poster's text). If your mouse is PS/2 or clone then you need: options ALLOW_CONFLICT_IOADDR device psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq12 vector psmintr in your config file and ps/2 "/dev/psm0" in your Xconfig file.
