Hello everybody,
I'm trying to figure out the device name I should use for the mouse.
I looked at the XFree86 FAQ's and they suggest grepping the log file 
for sio devices and then MAKDEVing the "corresponding device.
Well, I get sio0 and sio1 detected, but MAKEDEV doesn't make these
devices (it looks like it does something, but it never creates a file
under /dev).

Am I doing something wrong?

Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated.
