Hi all.
Still haven't found how to make my mouse work.

(486/50 , 386 BSD, XFree , all the patches installed ,etc)

When i start my xsession, everithing works fine, except that the mouse
remains still in the mid of the screen.

I connected it to a com port, to the other one, I changed the Xconfig
line to mousesystems "/dev/com1" , "/dev/com2", mknod 8 0 com1, mknod
8 1 com1, mknod 8 1 com2, 8 2 com2, I tried to configure the kernel
in four different ways, still no answer from the mouse.

You can easily imagine how I feel, with X running fine and the mouse
still sleeping ! :(

HELP!

Bye
Piero
