I got XFree386 running fine with one exception:

It works fine for an older Logitech mouse (this older one design with the
rectangular buttons). 

But I can't get the hell working any of the bunch of mice I have lying around
like smartmouse, genius-mouse, Logitech (streamlined one), klone mice - 
all are claiming to be Microsoft compatible mice.

But when I enable the MicroSoft option line in Xconfig I can't get any mouse
movement out of these bastards. 

Any hint welcome, please.
