Very Computer

I have a Logitec busmouse. It's configured to IRQ5 in the hardware jumpers.
I did a standard slackware 1.1.2 install and it configured /dev/mouse to point
to /dev/bmouselogitec. As far as configuration, that's all I know about. Now
when trying to start X, I get:

Fatal server error:
Cannot open mouse (no such device)

I have my Xconfig file setup as:

busmouse        "/dev/bmouselogitec"

I have also tried:

busmouse        "/dev/mouse"

I don't know what to do? How can I find the difficulty that X is having
with my mouse? Is there some manual page describing this? I ran a find on
mouse in all the /usr/man tree, but didn't find anything interesting. Is there
someone out there who might know where I should be looking? FAQ? Which one?
I have read the README.config and such but it just sais that the X server
gets this error when 99.999% of the time, it's the configuration of the mouse
that's the fault of things. How can I find out how to configure my mouse?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is where you go wrong: /dev/mouse should point to /dev/cua0 (or /dev/cua1)
because /dev/bmouselogitec is a device driver on its own. If you install it
like this, it must work.

[Other stuff deleted]

When I was grabbing Slackware for a friend recently, I looked at the
configuration "log" files for the bootdisks (e.g., bareboot, scsionly, etc.).

Those logs showed that *none* of the available kernels had any type
of busmouse configured into the kernel.  I didn't do the install, but
I asked him just to make sure that he had a serial mouse.

So unless Slackware 1.1.2 does something other than just copy the
kernel you boot with when installing, this person is going to
need to reconfigure his kernel.
