by Hardware: Packard-Bell (Ok, so I'm cheap!) Pentium-60, PS/2-type mouse (even the book
says so and the AUX port gives it away).
Software: X 3.1.2 from the Sunsite XFree86 distribution.
I use "setup" (I have the Slackware Linux 3.0 distribution) to select the PS/2 mouse. (That
compiles the kernal, right?).
XF86Config file, pointer section, specifies PS/2 and /dev/mouse. When I try changing to
/dev/psaux then X won't even come all the way up. Same problem when linking /dev/mouse to
/dev/psaux using "ln -sf psaux mouse" as somebody suggested.
No matter what I do I get pretty windows and a very stupid mouse that runs to the top and won't
behave! What do I do?
