Hi -
  I know this is a 'less-than-optimal' solution so , sorry about that: I had
ps/2 mouse problems forever with linux and happened to have a batch of ps/2
logitech mouseman 3's at work which are much like any 3 button mouse in
appearance but have a 4th for scrolling. It must be a more responseive mouse
to the linux protocol because it works very well and I've been using it
non-stop in linux for about 5 days now without a glitch. I think they're
costing about 39 bucks in the stores which is a lot for a mouse these days
and , i admit.. a lousy solution but it beats a stuck cursor.

1. X-Windows will not recognize my MS PS/2-mouse - can't succeed with xf86config.

I can not make X-Windows run. I constantly get the message,when I try starting
X-windows :"Fatal server error - Cannot open mouse (Device or resource busy)".
My MS mouse is connected to the PS/2-port of my ASUS T2P4 motherboard and
works well with all other OS'.
I have tried to use /dev/mouse, /dev/psaux and /dev/tty. None works, always
the same error message.
My video card is a S3-Trio 64+ / 1mb, does that cause the problem ?

Thank you in advance for any advices.

Kind regards
