After finally getting X-Windows to run, my mouse is dead.
The cursor appears on the screen but X doesn't respond to
the mouse.  I have a bus mouse connected to COM1.  I haven't
been able to "find" the connection using "cat /dev/mouse" or
"cat /dev/cuaa*".  I'm sure this is the problem but I don't
know where else to find the mouse connection so I can tell
the X-configuration where to look for it.  Could someone please
give me a clue.
Thanks,
Matto
