I just went through this - make sure that /dev/mouse is linked to
/dev/mse0
Use the "Busmouse" option in the X configuration file. "Microsoft" DOES
NOT work - it assumes a serial mouse ( which we don't have ). The kernel
defaults were fine for me - the base port address is 0x23c, and mine is on
interrupt 5. Good luck, Dave.
